England's first-choice back three hit by injuries after Australia victory
England coach Steve Borthwick said on 9 November that the three players who formed his preferred back three against Australia – Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, Tommy Freeman and George Furbank – are now dealing with injuries that could affect their preparation for next year’s Rugby World Cup. England defeated Australia 45-22 at Twickenham on 8 November, scoring seven tries, according to the BBC, which eased pressure on Borthwick ahead of the Nations Championship tests.
Sky Sports reported that back-row forward Henry Pollock, moved to the wing, added two tries, further relieving the coach’s concerns. The London Evening Standard noted that the points total was a record against the Wallabies.
