Coach Steve Borthwick says he will allow Owen Farrell to settle back into life at Saracens this summer, rather than calling him up for an immediate return to England duty. Farrell, 33, has signed a two-year deal with Premiership side Saracens, ending his stint at French side Racing 92 and bringing him back into England reckoning. This July, Borthwick's side will take on Argentina away in two Tests before a one-off match against the United States in Washington.

Gibson-Park, England's Alex Mitchell and Wales' Tomos Williams are the three scrum-halves named in head coach Andy Farrell's original squad.

From there, though, the 17-year-old went where no-one could follow. His long, loping stride ratcheted up in rhythm over the final two laps, squeezing lungs and fraying rivals' form behind him.
