Owen Farrell is set to be dropped by England for the first time since the 2015 World Cup with Marcus Smith expected to win the battle for the No 10 jersey in Saturday’s crunch fixture against France.
Owen Farrell has been working with Jonny Wilkinson to reverse the goalkicking slump that has affected him throughout the Guinness Six Nations.
Marcus Smith has won his duel with George Ford for the role of fly-half understudy to Owen Farrell for England’s biggest test of the Guinness Six Nations yet.
England vice-captain Courtney Lawes has been ruled out of their Six Nations match against France with a shoulder injury, the Rugby Football Union said on Tuesday.
George Ford has been dropped from England’s squad to face France on Saturday, ensuring Marcus Smith will feature against Les Bleus. Steve Borthwick named both, as well as captain Owen Farrell, in his wider squad on Sunday but has released the Sale fly-half as part of a wider cut.
I t has been the same for as long as the game has been played. Talk up a fly-half for his dash and vision and someone with big hands and a crooked nose will take a long sip from his pint before putting you straight.

Marcus Smith has been recalled to the England squad preparing to face France this weekend after his dazzling display in Harlequins’ victory over Exeter. Smith was dropped for England’s fallow week training camp in Brighton last week but has returned to the squad for Saturday’s Six Nations fixture against Les Bleus.
LONDON : Marcus Smith has been released from England's training squad this week to get game time with Harlequins but faces a battle to make the squad to face France in two weeks after George Ford was included in a trimmed 26-man group announced on Tuesday.
