England coach Stuart Lancaster has asked his players for more discipline when facing Italy at Twickenham on March 10 in the fourth leg of a possible Six Nations Grand Slam.
Lancaster names his team to face Italy on March 8 and will give Saracens playmaker Farrell every chance to prove his fitness. If the pivot fails to recover fully, Leicester's Toby Flood will step in and other options considered on the bench including Freddie Burns of Gloucester. The Kingsholm fly-half has been sidelined for six weeks with a knee problem but has been cleared for a return to Aviva Premiership action against Bath. "From our point of view we need to look at Freddie's performance. We have other options on the bench who can cover 10," Lancaster added.
