Abendanon drafted into England squad

Bath full-back Nick Abendanon has been called into England's World Cup squad as a replacement for the injured Josh Lewsey.

Abendanon flies out to Paris tonight to join the England squad just five days before they tackle South Africa in the World Cup final.

Lewsey was ruled out of the final today after a scan confirmed he suffered a hamstring strain in England's 14-9 victory over France last weekend.
