LONDON (AP) — Flyhalf Toby Flood has been ruled out of England's test against New Zealand on Saturday because of a foot injury.

Coach Stuart Lancaster says Flood damaged ligaments in the big toe of his right foot during England's 16-15 loss to South Africa last Saturday. Owen Farrell, who replaced Flood during the match, is set to take over at flyhalf against the All Blacks at Twickenham.
