Feyi-Waboso out of England's Six Nations opener against Wales
England suffered a setback on the eve of their Six Nations opener against Wales after Immanuel Feyi-Waboso was ruled out with a leg muscle injury.
The 23-year-old Exeter wing, who has scored seven tries in just 13 Tests, failed to finish Thursday's training session and England scrum coach Tom Harrison confirmed Friday that Feyi-Waboso will miss the match at Twickenham.
Feyi-Waboso's place on the right wing on Saturday will be taken by Tom Roebuck, making his first England appearance since starting against New Zealand in November following a toe problem.
