Owen Farrell injury scare - England captain pulls out of match, needing surgery
By Online Editors
Owen Farrell is an injury doubt for England's opening Six Nations match against Ireland after pulling out of Saracens match against Glasgow today.
Saracens reported that he pulled out due to a wrist injury.
The BBC are reporting that Farrell will now undergo a 'minor' operation on his thumb. According to the report Mark McCall says his recovery time is 7 to 10 days, putting in the doubt his participation in his team's opening match against Ireland in Dublin.
The England star is set to captain his country in this year's competition in the absense of Dylan Hartley.
"Owen will be captain by himself and he will certainly have great support from a number of senior players,” said Eddie Jones earlier this week.
The squad will travel for Portugal on Wednesday 23 January to begin their preparations. A squad of 25 players will depart for Dublin on Thursday 31 January.

I don't listen to Nigel Farage. Really not sure where you'd be getting that from. Maybe you should stick to responding to what I've actually said, rather than speculating about my sources.
I'm not sure what you think Putin is going to do. He'll probably conquer Ukraine, but its taken him a long time, and cost him a lot of soldiers. Hitler overran France in a matter of weeks and then started bombing Britain. At this rate Putin might make it to Paris by 2080? I think he'll give up long before then!
I don't see what Stalinist language policy has to do with any of what we're talking about. De-Ukrainization took place in the 1930s, but the genocide of Palestine is taking place in 2025. If your argument is that the invasion of Ukraine is part of a longer history of Russian suppression of Ukraine then you might have a point, but that really just underlines the key difference between Hitler and Putin; Hitler wanted to dominate as much area as possible and so posed a threat to all of Europe, whereas Putin wants to force the assimilation of those who have historically been within the Russian sphere of influence, so only poses a threat to eastern europe and central asia.

What would you recommend I read? On the genocide of Palestine I've found Patrick Wolfe's "Settler Colonialism and the Elimination of the Native" and Sai Englert's "Settlers, Workers, and the Logic of Accumulation by Dispossession" especially useful - they might disabuse you of the notion that what we are witnessing is an "authoritarian criminal syndicate" fighting a nation! - rather Zionist genocide is a largely democratic process, arising from a structure of settler colonialism which has no analogue in Ukraine.
