Jack not all right

■

JACK NOWELL is a major doubt for England’s World Cup bid but Mako Vunipola should be fit for Japan.

Prop Vunipola suffered a small tissue tear to his hamstring against Ireland but is expected to be out for only 10 days.

Nowell has not played since hurting his ankle in the Premiership final in June and Exeter coach Rob Baxter said: “He’s going to be touch and go for the World Cup.”
