Five players who will likely miss England’s summer tour to Australia

#5. Courtney Lawes

Lawes’ inclusion in England’s July tour of Australia could be in doubt after the forward dislocated his thumb playing for Northampton.

Boyd said the compound dislocation was “quite nasty”, adding: “He has still got some medical decisions to be made around the skeletal function of the thumb and the muscle and ligament situation.

“All I can clearly say, until we get a medical view, is he won’t play on Saturday. He needs specialist consultation to make a decision on what is the best course of action.”
