Farrell ruled out of England side

England centre Andy Farrell has been ruled out of the World Cup quarter-final against Australia in Marseille on Saturday.

The former Great Britain rugby league captain injured his right calf muscle in training on Wednesday.

England will not name their replacement until Friday, with Olly Barkley or Dan Hipkiss likely to come in.

Bath star Barkley would be favourite to regain regain his place, having been dropped after England's win over Samoa.
