England have summoned Newcastle back Toby Flood to join their World Cup squad.
Flood is due to arrive at the team's base in Versailles later today as replacement for his Falcons colleague Jamie Noon.
Noon suffered a knee ligament injury during England's 36-0 World Cup record defeat against South Africa last Friday, and he will now head home.
Noon is expected to be out of action for around six weeks, and Flood - an effective operator at fly-half and centre - was the obvious choice to take over.
