Following fears that some of England's key players would not be fit ahead of the start of the World Cup, Martin Johnson has confirmed that the full England squad, which he announced last week, will all be available for next month's World Cup.

Captain, Lewis Moody and scrum-half, Ben Youngs both had knee injury fears but have been confirmed ready. Tom Wood and Nick Easter both had calf muscle injury fears but have also been confirmed as available for England's first world cup match against Argentina on September 10th. All of these players missed England's final warm up on Saturday against Ireland but Mark Cueto suffered a back injury during the encounter.

We will inform you of any more squad updates as they are announced.
