5 Changes England Need To Make Before The Six Nations

#5. Owen Farrell

A series to forget for the England captain. Kicked 15 points against Australia after missing the Tonga game because of a false positive test before an ankle injury ruled him out for up to 12 weeks. Unstinting team man as always but England actually looked a better team with him not on the field.

Possible replacements: Marcus Smith (Harlequins), George Ford (Leicester Tigers)
