England today suffered a major double injury blow ahead of their World Cup showdown with South Africa with the news that Matt Dawson and Richard Hill have been ruled out.
The two have failed to recover from injuries sustained in last Sunday's 84-6 victory over Georgia.
Dawson's place at scrum-half will be taken by Kyran Bracken; Leicester's Lewis Moody will line up in the back row instead of Hill.
Andy Gomarsall will provide scrum-half cover on the bench, with Joe Worsley also now featuring among the replacements.
