The Autumn International Rugby Test Series begins when England take on the old enemy Australia at Twickenham on 07 Nov 2009. Tickets for England v Australia are still available. The England Team medical staff have been working closely with Gloucester Rugby following Mike Tindall’s suspected hamstring injury last night. It has been agreed that Mike will return to the England camp tomorrow where he will be further assessed. An MRI scan will be taken after which the cause and extent of the injury will be clearer and a further announcement will be made at that time.
In addition, the England team management can confirm that Ayoola Erinle of Biarritz Olympique will also join the squad on Sunday and take part in training on Monday and Tuesday. Final decisions on the 22 man squad for the Australia game will be made and announced on Tuesday 3rd November. Rob Andrew believes that England’s injury problems cannot be used as an excuse as they prepare for a challenging Test series.
