Vickery scare for England

Wasps prop Vickery suffered an injury to his right calf during training in Bath on Thursday morning.

England say it is too early to make an announcement on his fitness, but Bristol prop Jason Hobson has been drafted into the squad.

England's build-up to the game has already been scarred by losing five players.

Centre Mike Tindall, prop Andrew Sheridan, wing David Strettle, plus flankers Lewis Moody and Tom Rees have been ruled out.
