Northampton Saints prop Emmanuel Iyogun has been called up to the England squad ahead of the second test against New Zealand.
The 23-year-old replaces Joe Marler, who sustained a foot injury in Saturday’s 16-15 loss to the All Blacks in Dunedin.
Iyogun, a Saints Academy graduate with 53 appearances for the men in Black, Green and Gold, previously played for England Under-20s.
The loosehead prop takes Saints’ continent in the England squad to eight, as he teams up with club mates Alex Mitchell, Tommy Freeman, Fraser Dingwall, Ollie Sleightholme, Alex Coles, George Furbank and Fin Smith.
Eden Park hosts the second and final test on Saturday 13 July (kick-off: 8.05am BST).
