Geraghty out of Six Nations
London Irish playmaker Shane Geraghty has been ruled out of the rest of England's RBS 6 Nations campaign with Gloucester's Olly Barkley called up as his replacement.
Utility player Geraghty broke a bone in his hand during the Exiles' defeat against Wasps on Sunday.
It is the latest in a long line of injuries that have interrupted Gergahty's progress since making a huge impact on his debut as a replacement against France in the 2007 Championship.
Barkley, originally omitted from Martin Johnson's EPS squad, comes in for the game against France at Twickenham on Sunday.
