Farrell to 10 - with COVID.
I know Farrell is usually un-droppable, but surely they can't play him with even a suspicion of Covid?

Bizarre isn’t it. Even if you exclude Farrell and the presumably injured Smith I can think of Umaga, Simmonds, Cipriani, Ford, Bailey that are better 10’s. There are probably others.
Is there any difference in rules for players who are unvaccinated vs double jabbed? As I understand it only 80% of the squad are fully vaccinated

That not training doesn't go anywhere just because Farrell can't play.I don't agree with Furbank being worthy of playing for England, but if it's been decided that he's good enough, then he's the backup 10 in a break glass in emergency sense. In which case, this is the time to test him out as much as it is for looking at Smith.
