Shaun Wane will not take charge of England's Test against France after suffering complications during a minor ankle operation.
The national team boss went under the knife to repair the issue and is recovering in hospital. Assistant coach Andy Last has been handed the responsibility of overseeing Saturday's clash in Toulouse. 'The operation has gone well and they've dealt with the infection,' said Last during a press conference on Thursday afternoon. 'The complications that he had from his initial op have been resolved.
Last has stressed that the 59-year-old will have an input in team selection after studying training footage. 'Before sessions I’ve spoken to Shaun and we’ve discussed how we’re going to plan the session and the content of session,' said Last. 'After the session we’ll review and discuss things so he’s still got his finger on the pulse. 'On game day I’m sure he’ll give us some tips beforehand but he's confident in myself and the rest of the staff to get the job done.
