The Six Nations can wait as Leicester fly-half Toby Flood focuses on his side's Heineken Cup tie with Clermont Auvergne. Richard Rae writes in the Independent on Sunday.
"Somebody gets injured and drops out of the picture for a few months, for one reason or another things aren't going well on the field, and despite not having played, or maybe even trained, he's someone who might make a difference."
"Thank you and goodnight, because as a summary of the situation pertaining to Flood and England's misfiring team, some might suggest his description could hardly be bettered. If England's critics had seen the two games Flood has played for Leicester since returning from the six month lay-off that resulted from his rupturing an achilles tendon in the Tigers' Heineken Cup semi-final win over Cardiff Blues last May, they might feel justified in their assumption."
