Johnson: Worsley in hunt for Lions

MARTIN JOHNSON believes Joe Worsley has played himself firmly into the frame for Lions selection after a series of world-class performances for England.

Worsley has been passed fit to retain his place in the England back row to face Scotland despite requiring six stitches in a deep gash to his right hand.

Fly-half Toby Flood will also start today’s Calcutta Cup showdown after overcoming a shoulder injury suffered in last week’s 34-10 win over France.
