World Cup squad after training altercation• Move to
France rules out call-up in event of injuryBen Te’o has effectively brought an end to his
England career by signing for Toulon on a short-term contract, having been left out of Eddie Jones’s World Cup squad.
Te’o was omitted by Jones last week after his altercation with Mike Brown at a recent training camp in Treviso and while the coach did not rule out calling on the 32-year-old centre in the event of injury, his move to France renders him ineligible with the Rugby
Football Union refusing to pick players based outside England. Unless he returns to play for a Premiership club in the future, his international career is finished.
