Hendre Fourie drafted in to England squad for Ireland game

Fourie drafted in for Ireland game

Hendre Fourie has been called up to the England squad for their World Cup warm-up match against Ireland in Dublin on Saturday.

The Sale flanker comes in after Tom Wood was ruled out through injury.

The 31-year-old will start on the bench for England's final warm-up game before they fly out to New Zealand.

Fourie's inclusion is only temporary, however, as he wasn't named in Martin Johnson's final 30-man World Cup squad.
