WASPS forwards coach Craig Dowd has backed Tim Payne to deliver the good for England in their Six Nations match in Italy on Sunday.
Payne has been called in to replace the injured Andrew Sheridan, but Dowd has told England fans they have nothing to worry about.
He said:"He'll hold his side of the scrum up, clean out rucks - he doesn't do the glory work but he'll do his job on Sunday, and do it well."
