Owen Farrell could miss England’s Six Nations opener against Scotland next month after being cited for a dangerous tackle during Saracens’ 19-16 Premiership win over Gloucester.
The Saracens fly-half, 31, is in line to start for England in Steve Borthwick’s first game in charge, against Scotland at Twickenham on February 4.
But he could be sidelined following what appeared to be a high, shoulder-led charge on Gloucester replacement Jack Clement near the end of a tense encounter at Kingsholm on Friday, where Farrell landed a winning drop-goal with the last kick of the game.
