England coach, Eddie Jones has called in Saracens halfback Ben Spencer to replace injured Willi Heinz in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final against the Springboks this Saturday.
Heinz suffered a hamstring in last week's semi-final victory over the All Blacks.
27-year-old, Spencer has won three caps for England, arrived in Tokyo yesterday and is certain to go straight into the 23-man match-day squad for Saturday’s final.
Jones says this is a great opportunity for Spencer.
England will take on South Africa at 9pm Saturday while the All Blacks will face Wales in the bronze playoffs at 9pm Friday.
