George Ford 'fit and ready' for Aviva finale

READY FOR DUTY: England's George Ford during a training session at Pennyhill Park.

George Ford is in contention to make his England comeback in Dublin on Saturday but Ollie Chessum has been ruled out of the quest to gatecrash Ireland's Grand Slam party.

Ford has been declared “fit and ready” by defence coach Kevin Sinfield as he engages in a three-way shoot-out with Marcus Smith and Owen Farrell for the fly-half duties against the world's top ranked side.
