Itoje Injury Sours Engalnd's Victory

England lock Maro Itoje is set to have a scan after suffering suspected knee ligament damage during his side's 32-20 Six Nations victory over Ireland.

Itjoe limped off the field in the second half and was on crutches as he celebrated with England at full-time.

"I think he's done a medial ligament," said England head coach Eddie Jones. "Obviously we'll investigate that.

"He'll be a loss for us but we've got some other good players to come into the squad so we'll wait and see."

England do have depth at lock with George Kruis and Courtney Lawes enjoying fine performance's against Ireland while Wasps second row Joe Launchbury is favourite to be called into the 23 if Itoje misses the clash against France.

Launchbury has just returned from injury and had his return delayed by another week.
