Strettle out of World Cup

England have formally ruled Harlequins wing David Strettle out of their World Cup campaign.

Strettle broke the fifth metatarsal in his left foot during training yesterday and he now faces a 12-week lay-off.

Strettle will have a screw inserted into his foot in London tonight but England head coach Brian Ashton has no plans to call a replacement into his training squad.

Ashton will name the 30-man World Cup party next Tuesday.
