• Exeter wing Nowell’s Japan chances in the balance, says coach
Mako Vunipola, whose injury was the sole blight on England’s record 57-15 demolition of Ireland at Twickenham, has a small tear of scar tissue in his hamstring that will need 10 days of rehabilitation to heal, meaning he will miss the final warm-up game before the World Cup.
His likely recovery for the World Cup will be a huge relief for Eddie Jones as his England squad fly out to Treviso to continue their preparations for the tournament in Japan next month with a final warm-up match, against Italy on 6 September at St James’ Park.
