England counts the cost of big Australia win as Feyi-Waboso ruled out injured

England is grappling with the financial implications of a resounding rugby win over Australia, following the injury of winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso. This setback has prompted a reassessment of the team's financial strategy for the Nations Championship.

In addition to Feyi-Waboso's absence, flanker Ollie Chessum, center Seb Atkinson, and fullback George Furbank will also miss the upcoming match against Japan. Furthermore, flanker Tom Curry, who was sidelined due to a hip injury, will not participate in the remaining three fixtures. The cumulative effect of these injuries is a significant blow to England's lineup, with Feyi-Waboso representing the most pivotal loss among the injured players.

Feyi-Waboso, who had been England's most effective back prior to his injury, has been sidelined since the start of the year due to a combination of shoulder, hamstring, and concussion issues. His continued absence adds to the growing list of concerns for England's coaching staff as they navigate the challenges ahead in the championship.
