A battle of England V Argentina at Twickenham


LONDON — World Cup-winning hooker Steve Thompson was recalled on Monday to an injury-hit England squad for next month's Tests at Twickenham having himelf briefly retired from rugby because of a neck problem.


England manager Martin Johnson, who was Thompson's World Cup winning captain six years ago, has lost nearly two teams' worth of players because of injuries for next month's Tests against Australia, Argentina and New Zealand, including his first-choice front row.


Thompson retired in April 2007 after a neck operation but the now 31-year-old returned months later to play for Brive, having initially joined the French club as a coach.


He did make a brief England return with an appearance off the bench late-on in June's 37-15 win over Argentina but this was seen as a stop-gap effort.


Ironically, given his injury problems since landing the winning drop-goal in the 2003 World Cup final, fly-half Jonny Wilkinson - also now playing his club rugby in France, for Toulon - was fit enough to be included in the revised 32-man squad.


Johnson's selection saw him pick three uncapped players in forwards David Barnes, Richard Blaze and Courtney Lawes while prop Duncan Bell returned after a gap of four years.


"The whole squad is looking forward to three very tough games in November," Johnson said. "We've had to make a number of changes because of injuries but we have strength in depth.


"Each of the players coming in has the opportunity to push themselves into contention for the 2nd match England v Argentina on November 14."



Highly-rated lock Lawes, still only 20, got his chance after Nick Easter tore a calf muscle during Harlequins's 26-22 Premiership win over Worcester on Saturday that saw him ruled out for four weeks.


That day also saw veteran Leicester prop Julian White sidelined after tearing a hamstring in the 18-12 Premiership loss to London Irish.


Veteran prop White's injury came just days after it was confirmed ex-England captain Phil Vickery was ruled out for three months because of back surgery.


Fellow prop Andrew Sheridan was already sidelined for at least four months with a dislocated shoulder.

With hooker Lee Mears already out because of knee ligament damage, Johnson had to revamp what was an all British and Irish Lions front row while experienced lock Simon Shaw is currently injured as well.


And there have been injuries behind the scrum, with full-back Delon Armitage (shoulder), centre Riki Flutey (shoulder), fly-half Toby Flood (knee) and scrum-half Harry Ellis (knee) seeing their squad spots taken by David Strettle, Shane Geraghty, Andy Goode and Richard Wigglesworth respectively.


Saracens second-row Steve Borthwick, England's captain last season, has retained the leadership of the team for all three Tests.


"Steve has been appointed captain and I'm sure he will continue to do an excellent job," Johnson said.

Revised England 32-man squad for the November internationals against Australia, Argentina and New Zealand:

Backs


Matt Banahan (Bath), Danny Care (Harlequins), Mark Cueto (Sale), Ben Foden (Northampton), Shane Geraghty (Northampton), Andy Goode (Brive/FRA), Dan Hipkiss (Leicester), Paul Hodgson (London Irish), Ugo Monye (Harlequins), David Strettle (Harlequins), Mathew Tait (Sale), Mike Tindall (Gloucester), Richard Wigglesworth (Sale), Jonny Wilkinson (Toulon/FRA)


Forwards

Steffon Armitage (London Irish), David Barnes (Bath), Duncan Bell (Bath), Richard Blaze (Leicester), Steve Borthwick (Saracens, capt), George Chuter (Leicester), Jordan Crane (Leicester), Tom Croft (Leicester), Louis Deacon (Leicester), Dylan Hartley (Northampton), James Haskell (Stade Francais/FRA), Ben Kay (Leicester), Courtney Lawes (Northampton), Lewis Moody (Leicester), Tim Payne (Wasps), Steve Thompson (Brive/FRA), David Wilson (Bath), Joe Worsley (Wasps)

Rugby League star Paul Whatuira tasered by police after alleged assault



It normally takes a couple of 16-stone forwards to bring down Rugby League star Paul Whatuira.

But when the 6ft former New Zealand international was arrested after an "unprovoked" street attack, police decided it was wiser to use a Taser gun.


The 28-year-old Huddersfield Giants player allegedly struck two men in an early morning confrontation in the town centre.


Hours later he was bailed and taken from police cells to a psychiatric hospital for a mental health check.


One of the attacked men has severe face injuries and a suspected broken jaw.


Whatuira, who weighs 14-stone, was arrested by police who had to call for back-up before using the stun gun.


It is understood the player, whose fiancée is pregnant, was being treated at a local hospital before he left the premises early on the day of the incident.


The violence began when a man walking from his car to engineering firm TWL was attacked on the road at 6am.


A company spokesman said: "It was unprovoked. The man left his vehicle in our car park and was walking across the road to start his shift when he was set upon. He has a broken nose, missing front teeth and other severe dental problems."


The man was kept in hospital overnight. Another man attacked nearby was not badly hurt. It is believed Whatuira was bleeding from minor cuts after his violent struggle with police.


Giants managing director Richard Thewlis said: "Paul and his family have the full medical support of the club."


Police said: "Officers arrested a 28-year-old after reports of two assaults."


It is believed Whatuira is now in a Bradford hospital.

He joined Super League Giants last year and was nicknamed Fatz the Black Cat because he is quiet and wily.


Whatuira missed games on June 26 and July 5 after complaining of severe headaches but returned to action when scans revealed no problems.

WHATUIRA'S RUGBY CAREER


Whatuira made 16 appearances for New Zealand and is the Giants' the most capped player. He signed from Aussie club Wests Tigers in 2008. Last season he made 28 appearances and scored 15 tries. This season he played 28 times and scored seven tries.
