England captain Owen Farrell has spoken about how he “can’t wait” to return to the pitch against Chile on Saturday.
The 31-year-old has been absent for the first two Rugby World Cup games through suspension but is set to make his return in place of George Ford.
“It’s been tough-ish not playing but it has been brilliant seeing what the lads have been doing and I can’t wait to be back,” Farrell explained, before teasing his partnership with full-back Marcus Smith.
“Marcus is obviously a fantastic player. Everybody knows what a talent he is. Hopefully we can link up and get each other involved in the game.
“There are many different ways of doing that and hopefully having him on the field seeing space will go well.”
