England have confirmed that Jonny May has replaced Anthony Watson in their squad for the World Cup.
Watson has been ruled out of the tournament by a calf injury so May, who started Saturdayβs defeat to Fiji, has filled the gap in the 33-man party to be submitted to World Rugby on Monday.
The only other name missing from the group originally named by Steve Borthwick on August 7 is Jack van Poortvliet whose ankle problem means he has been replaced by Alex Mitchell.

Elliot Daly and Kyle Sinckler are also present as they continue their recovery from respective knee and pectoral injuries.
Meanwhile, Joe Marler has avoided a citing for his second-half tackle on Albert Tuisue that forced the Fiji back row to depart for an HIA that was passed.
