Six Nations:England will wait on news of captain Mike Tindall's availability ahead of Saturday's Grand Slam decider against Ireland at the Aviva Stadium.

Tindall, who has captained England to the brink of the Six Nations title, injured his ankle in Sunday's 22-16 victory over Scotland and was replaced at half-time.

The Gloucester centre lifted the Calcutta Cup but then left Twickenham in a protective boot to undergo x-rays. Tindall will be further assessed by England medics when the squad reconvene at Pennyhill Park .

If Tindall is ruled out of the Dublin clash, Nick Easter would be the leading candidate to captain England.
