England head coach Eddie Jones has called up Bristol Bears forward Sam Jeffries as an injury replacement for Bath Rugby club captain Charlie Ewels.
Lock Ewels suffered a knee injury in training on Wednesday which has ruled him out of England’s tour of Australia. He will return home for further assessment.
Jeffries, 29, who can play both lock and back row, completes a remarkable Hollywood-style come-back story after more than two years out of the game with knee issues, with many assuming we would never return to professional sport.
