In a strategic move, Wing Cadan Murley and flanker Tom Curry have been included in England's 36-player squad for Sunday's much-anticipated match against Japan at Twickenham. This shift sees them replacing the duo Elliott Daly and Charlie Ewels.

Cadan Murley, aged 25, hails from Harlequins, and the 26-year-old Curry is a prominent player for Sale Sharks in the Premiership. However, Wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, unfortunately, remains sidelined due to a head injury.
