Ellis facing final heartbreak

HARRY ELLIS — England’s most consistent performer during the RBS Six Nations Championship this season — could face Twickenham heartache as Leicester crank up their trophy treble bid.

The Tigers scrum-half suffered a knee injury during his team’s 26-14 Guinness Premiership semi-final victory over Bristol at Welford Road.

And the clock is ticking on his availability for next Saturday’s Twickenham final against Gloucester, plus Leicester’s Heineken Cup final appointment with fellow English heavyweights Wasps at the same venue eight days later.
