Singleton gets the nod as a replacement for Cowan-Dickie
England's Jack Singleton (centre right) celebrates scoring a try with team-mates during the Under 20's Rugby Union World Cup match at the City Academy Stadium, Manchester in 2016
ENGLAND summoned uncapped Worcester hooker Jack Singleton yesterday to join their tour of South Africa as injury cover for Luke Cowan-Dickie.
Cowan-Dickie suffered a hamstring problem during Saturday’s 42-39 defeat at Ellis Park to place him in doubt for the second Test against the Springboks in Bloemfontein.
The Exeter front row supplied back-up to Jamie George in the series opener and, if he is ruled out, Singleton will be promoted straight on to the bench.
