Anthony Watson to miss Rugby World Cup
England wing Anthony Watson will miss the Rugby World Cup in France due to a calf injury.
England head coach Steve Borthwick says Watson picked up the injury in last week's Test against Ireland.
"Anthony suffered an injury to his calf that was investigated and subsequently it means he cannot play for a number of weeks, as such Anthony will not be part of 33 that will travel to France next week," Borthwick added
"We wish Anthony all the very best in his recovery and hope to see him back fit and firing soon. He has worked tremendously hard and has helped this team enormously and we are all really disappointed for him."
