Josh Lewsey has been ruled out of the England side for tomorrow's World Cup quarter-final against Wales at Suncorp Stadium.

The Wasps full-back is suffering from a hamstring injury and will be replaced in the starting line-up by Dan Luger, with Jason Robinson switching from wing to full-back.

Luger, who had been drafted on to the bench earlier today as replacement for Iain Balshaw (knee), was immediately promoted to the starting XV once Lewsey withdrew.

Wasps centre Stuart Abbott will take over from Luger on the bench.
