England flyhalf Marcus Smith to miss the start of the Six Nations with injury

Associated Press  

LONDON — Marcus Smith’s hopes of stepping out of Owen Farrell’s shadow in the Six Nations have gotten off to a frustrating start, with the exciting England flyhalf ruled out Tuesday of the team’s opening match of the tournament because of injury. Smith sustained a calf injury at the squad’s training camp in Girona on Monday and will miss Saturday’s match against Italy in Rome. England is waiting for a second opinion on the scan before confirming a return date, raising the possibility that Smith could miss additional matches. 10 at last year’s Rugby World Cup, ruled himself out of the entire Six Nations for mental wellbeing reasons, opening the door for Marcus Smith.
