As has often been the case in the past, England’s biggest selection conundrum for the Six Nations comes in midfield. The absence of Owen Farrell and Manu Tuilagi gives Eddie Jones the opportunity to try something different. He has the chance to develop his ‘New England’ a step further and perhaps even implement a different style that will remain in place until the World Cup next year.
Owen Farrell has become a doubt for England’s Six Nations campaign after suffering a new injury in training for his club Saracens.
England captain Owen Farrell is set to miss the Six Nations opener against Scotland after suffering an injury while training with Saracens.
England captain Owen Farrell suffered an injury in training earlier this week, his club Saracens said on Friday, casting doubt on his ability to lead England in the Six Nations.
It has been 10 years since Owen Farrell played his first Test for England, against Scotland at Murrayfield back at the start of the 2012 Six Nations. By the dog years in which rugby players measure their Test careers, that’s a lifetime or so ago. Ben Youngs is the only other player from that match who is still playing international rugby. Most of the rest moved on a long time ago, into second careers in or outside the sport. Farrell, 20, fresh faced and whippet thin, played at inside-centre that day. The Scottish fans booed him all game. It didn’t make any difference, he kicked eight points, and England won by seven.
England captain Owen Farrell could head into the Six Nations without having played for months after his scheduled comeback for Saracens against London Irish in the Champions Cup at the weekend was thrown into doubt.
England fly-half Marcus Smith «could be an absolutely brilliant 10», but needs Owen Farrell's help to «run the game for him», says head coach Eddie Jones.
