England captain Owen Farrell a doubt for Six Nations after injury setback
Farrell will not attend next week’s pre-tournament training camp.
Owen Farrell has become a doubt for England’s Guinness Six Nations after suffering a new injury in training for his club Saracens.

But England’s skipper has been ruled out by a fresh setback and the Rugby Football Union has revealed that he will not be attending next week’s pre-Six Nations training camp in Brighton when a captaincy update will be issued.
