England star Owen Farrell missed training again yesterday but England remains confident he will be fit to face Scotland this weekend.
The 26-year-old has not fully trained with the rest of England’s Six Nations squad since he injured his lower leg in the 12-6 win over Wales two weeks ago.

Farrell has been an ever-present in Eddie Jones’ 25 games as head coach, 24 of which England have won.
Ben Te’o meanwhile is hoping to force his way into the starting XV.
“Depending on how the game is I think I could slot into any of those slots,” Te’o told Sky Sports News. “I wouldn’t pencil myself in as one or the other. I just think I’m a centre.
RUCK POLL:
“Maybe I wouldn’t have the same skill set as him, there’s a lot of other things I think I can bring.
“There’s so many different combinations in the midfield with 10, 12, 13, and it’s just which ever one Eddie wants to play.”
