Murley out, Sarries star in for England
Yesterday at 06:11 AM
England wing Cadan Murley has been ruled out of the Six Nations clash with France at Twickenham on Saturday with a foot problem.
The Harlequins flyer picked up the injury in England's defeat by reigning champions Ireland in Dublin last week, in which he scored a try on debut.
The 25-year-old has been replaced in Steve Borthwick's squad by Saracens centre Alex Lozowski, the RFU announced on Tuesday.

Lozowski, 31, won the last of his five Test caps under former head coach Eddie Jones in 2018. If Murley recovers quickly he could be available for fixtures against Italy and Wales later in the Six Nations.
Ollie Sleightholme, Tom Roebuck and Elliot Daly are the contenders to fill the No 11 jersey when Borthwick names his team on Thursday.
Defeat in Ireland was a sixth loss in seven matches for Borthwick's charges, while the French hammered Wales 43-0 in their opening Six Nations fixture.
