Owen Farrell: Limped off in win over France
Owen Farrell has been rated as no better than "50-50" to line up for Six Nations leaders England against Italy on 10 March. England coach Stuart Lancaster revealed that the fly-half is still having treatment on the thigh injury he suffered in last weekend's 23-13 win over France. Farrell has played a key role in England winning their first three games of the competition, but he will not be risked at Twickenham if he is not fully recovered. "Owen is making good progress and he's 50-50 for the Italy game," said Lancaster. "In the next week he'll be running, but the problem will be kicking. If there's a doubt we won't risk it."
