Back faces uncertain England future

WORLD CUP warrior Neil Back is facing a fight to prolong his international career after being left out of England’s RBS Six Nations squad.

Back, together with fellow World Cup winners Kyran Bracken and Martin Corry, have been omitted from a 28-man England party to prepare for next Sunday's championship opener against Italy in Rome.

Experienced prop Graham Rowntree also misses out after England head coach Sir Clive Woodward reduced his training group by 15 players from the 43-strong contingent selected last month.
