Owen Farrell has been backed by Eddie Jones to make a successful comeback from ankle surgery in time to lead England into the Guinness Six Nations. “We believe Owen can get into his best form very quickly and we believe he will be right to play against Scotland,” Jones said. He has got a good training week with us next week and we will know whether he is right to play. Very clearly, he’s the best person in my judgement to captain the team. Maybe him not drinking so much will allow the times between drinks not to be so long in the future.”
