England head coach Stuart Lancaster has called up Harlequins lock George Robson and London Irish hooker David Paice as injury cover for the Autumn Internationals.

The call ups come after Northampton Saints duo Courtney Lawes and Dylan Hartley were injured playing against Saracens on Saturday.

Robson toured South Africa with England in June this year and impressed in the midweek team.

England are a little thin on the ground with hookers as the only other hooker in the senior squad is Leicester's Tom Youngs.

Meanwhile England and Harlequins captain Chris Robshaw as well as London Irish's Jonathan Joseph were both injured playing against each other in the London Irish vs Harlequins match on Sunday.

Robshaw suffered a heavy knock on his eye and centre Joseph was forced off the field with an injured ankle.

England start their Autumn Internationals with a match against Fiji on the 10th of November.

England's Autumn International dates.

10 Nov: Fiji, Twickenham
17 Nov: Australia, Twickenham
24 Nov: South Africa, Twickenham
1 Dec: New Zealand, Twickenham
