The No 8 is not associated with the squad in Auckland and New Zealand on Monday for the first time I'll train with them.

Waldrom temporary cover for Nick Easter of Harlequins as the next one on Wednesday and flew back injury is getting better. Leicester Tigers back row and back to the 30's party has been decided.

England Team Manager Martin Johnson said: 'Nick is making good progress as is Matt Stevens but with Thomas now out here it makes sense to get him into the squad officially so he can join in with training. We also owe it to Leicester to make a decision so that they can plan accordingly without him.'
