England pick suspended Feyi-Waboso for summer tour
@Source: bbc.com
Wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will go on tour with England this summer despite being suspended for the two-Test series against Argentina. The 22-year-old has been banned for three matches - one of which he will be excused when he completes World Rugby's 'tackle school' programme - for a high shot on France A fly-half Antoine Hastoy in an England XV's 26-24 defeat on Saturday. He will only be available to coach Steve Borthwick for England's match against the United States on 19 July, having to sit out the games against Argentina on the two previous weekends. Bath's Will Muir, Sale's Tom Roebuck and Harlequins' Cadan Murley are the other specialist wings named in the 36-strong squad. Northampton full-back George Furbank, who suffered a concussion in Saints' Champions Cup final defeat by Bordeaux-Begles, stays home to continue his recovery with Freddie Steward and Joe Carpenter are included. Ben Curry and Harry Randall have shaken off injuries to make the squad. Jamie George, who was succeeded by Maro Itoje as England skipper at the start of this year, will co-captain the team with Sale fly-half George Ford. Gloucester's Charlie Atkinson is the only other specialist fly-half in the squad, although Henry Slade can step in from midfield to fill in. Atkinson is one of 10 uncapped players in the squad, with Bath pair Max Ojomoh and Guy Pepper also looking to make their first Test appearances for England. Thirteen of England's frontline players - including back-three options Tommy Freeman and Elliot Daly and fly-halves Fin and Marcus Smith - are away on British and Irish Lions duty in Australia this summer.
