Luke Narraway to miss Six Nations opener?

Narraway to miss Six Nations opener?

Gloucester captain Luke Narraway could be ruled out of England's Six Nations opener against Scotland next Saturday after picking up a calf injury in training.

The flanker joined up with the England squad earlier this week following an injury to Tom Wood, but could miss his chance to establish a first-team spot if his injury doesn't heal in time.

The leading candidate to replace Narraway could be Leicester Tigers' Thomas Waldrom, who scored a try in England Saxons' 23-17 win over Ireland Wolfhounds on Saturday.

Interim coach Stuart Lancaster will name his first England starting XV on Thursday, ahead of Saturday's curtain-raiser at Murrayfield.
