England confirm Maro Itoje is out of action for France and Wales Six Nations matches
Subscribe to our channel: https://goo.gl/pqS0mLEngland confirm Maro Itoje is out of action for France and Wales Six Nations matches. England have confirmed that Maro Itoje will miss Guinness Six Nations matches against France and Wales due to a knee injury but could return for the final rounds of England's title quest. Itoje suffered medial ligament damage in Saturday's 32-20 victory over Ireland in Dublin with a scan revealing a grade two tear that prevents him from playing in the next two rounds, as revealed by Sportsmail. 'Maro Itoje is expected to be available towards the end of the tournament,' a Rugby Football Union statement read.

Courtney Lawes and Joe Launchbury are competing to fill the vacancy in the second row alongside George Kruis. Itoje will remain at the squad's Surrey training base to continue his rehabilitation and could be involved in the last two games of the Championship against Italy and Scotland. It is hoped that intensive rehabilitation will allow him to come back swiftly but the worst case scenario would be around eight weeks out. Manu Tuilagi is in the squad to face Les Bleus after avoiding being cited for a shoulder charge on Ireland winger David Stockdale. There was uproar online about the incident but the Leicester Tiger has escaped punishment. Jones still has a number of uncapped players in the squad such as Ollie Thorley, Ben Earl and Jack Singleton but he is not expected to make many changes to the line-up after England's hugely impressive opener against the reigning champions.
Northampton Saints thrash Timisoara 111 3 and score 17 TRIES in Challenge Cup

It is one of the longest away trips in European rugby this season, but Timisoara Saracens' 1,336-mile journey to Northampton will have felt nowhere near as long as their time on the Franklin's Gardens pitch. On Friday night the Romanian minnows were obliterated 111-3 by the Saints as the Premiership side racked up 17 tries and recorded their biggest-ever European victory. When the teams were supposed to meet for the first time in December the match was abandoned 30 minutes before kick-off due to heavy snow. This time the elements could not save the visitors. Ollie Sleightholme grabbed four tries, Alex Mitchell completed a hat-trick, Mitch Eadie went over twice and Alex Coles marked his European debut with a score as the hosts saw 11 different players run in tries during the demolition job. Saints had secured their bonus point as early as the 23rd minute at Franklin's Gardens with Luther Burrell, Reece Marshall, Rory Hutchinson and all going over in quick succession. Timisoara made it onto the scoreboard with a penalty after 11 minutes from Luke Samoa but they barely advanced into Saints territory as the hosts ran riot. Andrew Kellaway, Lewis Ludlam, Nafi Tuitavake and Tom Collins also scored tries for a rampant Saints team as they secured their place in the quarter-finals from pool one. Victory keeps Saints' hopes of repeating their 2014 Challenge Cup win alive as they made it through to the knockout stages of the competition on their first attempt back. Remarkably Saints assistant coach Matt Ferguson insisted after the game that there was still some disappointment in the team's attacking performance. He told BBC Radio Northampton: 'We will have some frustration that our accuracy was not as good as it should have been. 'There is a difference between relentlessness and accuracy, so the will to want to carry, the will to want to play is different to keeping the ball. 'We just felt a little bit, on occasions, that some people got a little excited and took that extra yard too many. The best tries today came from when we played our patterns.' Clermont Auvergne’s 49-7 victory over the Dragons ensured they finished top of pool one with six wins from six. Fellow Premiership side Harlequins also joined them in the last eight with a 33-17 win over Agen.
