Geraghty blow for England

Shane Geraghty's hopes of an England recall have been dashed by a knee injury.

The London Irish back has returned to his club from England's training base in Bath for further investigation and assessment on the injury, which he sustained during the Exiles' Guinness Premiership victory over Leicester.

Geraghty, a fly-half or centre who made his Test debut during last season's RBS 6 Nations Championship, will undergo an MRI scan.

Part of England's 31-man training squad preparing to meet France in Paris on Saturday, Geraghty had been tipped to make the match-day 22.
