Itoje out of 6 Nations.
I did mine when I was 37, even though it was a complete tear I was lucky as I had good stability. I saw a sports doctor/surgeon (he actually works for the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team) and recommended I not get surgery because of my age, the increased chance of arthritis if I did, but also the good stability I was showing made me a good candidate to just rehab. 3 months of rehab and some general exercising and I was back playing after 4 months - won the golden boot that first year back! I realise not everyone is that lucky. I did wear a full brace for my first year back playing, it ends up being more of a comfort blanket than anything else to be honest. I'm 44 now and still going strong, although slowing down a bit now :-( Good luck!
That's really crappy. Hope it stays stable for you.

Highly unlikely that everyone will be fit bearing in mind the modern game, but we can hope.
I think a fit Manu has a big impact.
Ashton starts and Nowell drops to the bench, strange one that. Lawes replaces Itoje in second row.Can't wait for Sunday, should be a great game and I have a feeling France are going to get battered.
