Breaking: Farrell OUT (ankle). George OUT (knee) for #England.

Harry Elrington (27-year-old prop) & Jack Singleton called up.

Marler out of Covid isolation on Friday - so would have to come in after one captain's run to play v #SouthAfrica
An enormous week awaits Bevan Rodd and Jamie Blamire against the two best front rows in the world...

#SouthAfrica #England #rugby
And Nic Dolly, who will have to make his debut off the bench.

Rodd, Davison, Blamire, Dolly = 7 caps

Ox, Kitshoff, Mbonambi, Marx = 154 caps, 3 RWC winners

What England do with Marler now critical.

Come on down Eddie squad pick No. 175 - former Loughborough Students, Rosslyn Park and London Irish prop Harry Elrington, aged 27 and now at #Gloucester

Eddie's 28th prop selected.
It may help Elrington's cause that he's 123kg (19st 5lbs) if he does indeed come up against Koch or Nyakane...

Exclusive: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Uilisi Halaholo has had to battle to be here – against the odds of his upbringing, the trials of lockdown & tests of Covid.

He considered retiring in 2020 but Ray Lee-lo helped him recover. Now he’s a humble Welsh hero to be proud of.
#Wales

On childhood: ‘we went to school with no lunch, would have a couple of pieces of toast & wait for dinner. My dad would work 6am to 6pm in the factory – then we’d eat.

‘People might see it as children not being taken care of but it was normal and we were grateful for it.’ #Wales
On Lee-lo’s help: ‘He didn’t need to, but would take me down to the 4G pitch at the Vale, to run, try and drop the weight and get the knee right. I wouldn’t have been able to make my Wales debut if he hadn’t pushed me.’
