Rugby World Cup 2019: Spencer to join England squad ahead of final
Ben Spencer is on his way to Japan as World Cup finalists England await a scan on Willi Heinz’s hamstring.
Ben Spencer will join the England squad as emergency cover for Willi Heinz ahead of the Rugby World Cup final.
World Cup finalists England announced on Sunday that Saracens scrum-half Spencer is on his way to Japan amid concerns over Heinz.
Heinz – who will undergo a scan – injured his hamstring in Saturday’s memorable semi-final win over two-time defending champions New Zealand.
A three-time international, Spencer missed out on a spot in Eddie Jones’ 31-man squad for the World Cup, though he did take part in one of England’s training camps.
Ben Spencer will fly to Japan as a possible injury replacement for Willi Heinz.
