Will Joseph poised to audition for leading role against Japan in Feyi-Waboso’s absence

England winger Manny Feyi-Waboso has been ruled out for Saturday's Test match against Japan, along with Seb Atkinson and George Furbank, forcing coach Steve Borthwick to reshuffle his backline. Gloucester's Will Joseph, 24, who can play centre or wing, is set to be recalled four years after earning his first cap under current Japan coach Eddie Jones. Assistant coach Kevin Sinfield praised Joseph's training performances, highlighting his balance, power, and speed as qualities that could earn him a prominent role.
