Farrell To Play For England?

William Hill are quoting Saracens' convert from rugby league to union, Andy Farrell at 2/1 to play any part in the 6 Nations tournament - and quote him at 5/6 to play and 5/6 not to play in the Rugby Union World Cup in 2007.

"Controversy is raging over Farrell's fast-tracking into the sport and about his best position, but we believe that if he is over his injury nightmare there is every chance of him making the World Cup starting line up" said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.

England could certainly use a quality player - they are currently 12/1 to win the World Cup with Hils who make New Zealand 11/10 favourites and offer 7/2 France; 6 S Africa, Australia.

England are 5/2 second favourites for the 6 Nations for which France are 5/4 favourites with Ireland 10/3; Wales 7/1; Scotland 33/1 and Italy 250/1.
