Jack Nowell set to miss Wallaby Test

England wing Jack Nowell is set to be ruled out of Saturday's match against Australia at Twickenham with a hamstring injury.

Nowell, 25, did not train on Wednesday and rookie wing Joe Cokanasiga, who made his debut against Japan, is in line to start against the Wallabies.

England are already without Chris Ashton, who left camp earlier this week with a calf injury.

Meanwhile centre Manu Tuilagi remains a doubt with a recurring groin problem.

Defence coach John Mitchell hopes Cokanasiga, 21, can build on his try-scoring debut last weekend.

"Joe had a good start to his Test career [against Japan], and he is constantly learning as well," Mitchell told BBC Sport.

"He's got a good manner, and I think he has a bright future as long as he keeps working at his game."
