Saracens pair Joel Tomkins and Alex Goode have been forced to pull out of the England squad ahead of their tour to Argentina because of injury.
Goode (shoulder) and Tomkins (ankle) are both ruled out and have been replaced by Northampton Saints duo Luther Burrell and Stephen Myler.
England Head Coach Stuart Lancaster said: “Luther Burrell and Stephen Myler have both played well in the second half of the season and they’ve both got a great opportunity to put a marker down for the future on tour in Uruguay and Argentina."
