England lose Itoje and Underhill for Series decider

England's Series levelling victory over Australia in test two has come at cost with Maro Itoje and Sam Underhill ruled out of the final test in Sydney on Saturday, July 16 (10.55am kick off).


Both players have been ruled out after suffering concussions in last weekend's victory.

The withdrawal of both from the squad follows last week's departure of Tom Curry after he also sustained a concussion in the opening Test.

This means that Eddie Jones will need to start a third openside flanker in three tests. Jack Willis was also named on the bench for test two but was a late withdrawal for the match.

England confirmed that no replacements will be called up to cover for the two injured players.
