England recall Leicester star George Ford for Six Nations following Owen Farrell injury

Leicester Tigers fly-half George Ford has been recalled to England 's squad ahead of the Six Nations following a delay in captain Owen Farrell 's return from injury.

Ford, 28, was left out of Eddie Jones ' initial 36-man training camp for the tournament but will now link up with the rest of the squad for the first time in almost a year.

Jones retained Farrell, 30, as captain for the Six Nations despite the Saracens star having failed to play since he suffered an ankle injury during the November win over Australia.
