England have drafted in Harlequins forward Chandler Cunningham-South to their squad for Saturday's Nations Championship match against Fiji, replacing injured winger Cadan Murley. Murley sustained a shoulder injury during England's recent loss to South Africa.

This marks the latest in a series of squad adjustments for Steve Borthwick's side. Prop Emmanuel Iyogun also joins the group following an injury to Beno Obano, while Tom Roebuck was previously called up for George Furbank, who withdrew with appendicitis. The absence of specialist wingers means players like Tommy Freeman, who plays regularly at right wing for Northampton, may shift positions.

Cunningham-South, 23, previously played twice in the Six Nations and has featured in the lock and back row positions. England previously defeated Fiji 38-18 in November. The team will face Argentina after the Fiji match in their final Nations Championship fixture.
