Billy Vunipola has been ruled out of England's autumn international
against Australia with concussion and replaced by Thomas Waldrom of
Exeter Chiefs.
Back-rower
Vunipola, 22, was dropped
by coach Stuart Lancaster for
England's 28-9 win over Samoa
last Saturday, with Ben Morgan starting at number eight.
Vunipola was then injured in Saracens' 31-24 loss to Northampton and not included in England's 34-man pool.
Northampton fly-half Stephen Myler returns after recovering from injury.
Waldrom, 31, has not featured for England since the 12-6 win over Ireland in Dublin in the 2013 Six Nations, but has impressed for Exeter this season with seven tries in eight Premiership matches.
Myler, who kicked 16 points for Northampton in the victory over Saracens, has regained his berth in the squad for England's final November international following a hamstring strain.
