Owen Farrell told to adjust tackle technique before Six Nations
Owen Farrell has been told he must adjust his tackle technique after being entrusted with the England captaincy for the Six Nations. Farrell will complete a reduced three-match ban for a dangerous challenge in time to lead Steve Borthwick's team into their Championship opener against Scotland at Twickenham on 4 February.
