Anthony Watson was able to take part in England’s annual open training session at Twickenham, but neither Owen Farrell nor Joe Launchbury were present.
Watson was expected to be rested until next week because of an unspecified lower-leg injury, but the British and Irish Lion lined up on the left wing in front of a 10,000-strong crowd.
Farrell, who is also recovering from injury – the details of which have not been revealed – and Launchbury were also absent from the session, which was watched by Prince Harry.
