FLYING CIRCUS

Lawes: Farrell sideshow will spur England on

- ADAM HATHAWAY

COURTNEY LAWES' England will use the Owen Farrell circus as a spur to help them topple the world's No.1ranked team today.

Farrell will be in the stands for the clash with Ireland, still sweating on his World Cup availability with an appeal to take place on Tuesday.

The white noise surrounding the England skipper since his red card against Wales last Saturday shows no sign of slowing up and he has been pulled out of the game at the Aviva Stadium.
