This is very disappointing for me as this means I miss England's last two games in the Six Nations at Twickenham and two games for my club, Sale Sharks.

I wanted to play in the Six Nations because of the way I felt and I am available for the next two games,

We
have definitely been in some battles together, lots of playoff games won,

We just look at it now that we have another avenue that we have to take. They lost four games, so they can be beat just like anyone else. The kids are going to have to be even more ready to play.

The Olympic Games are for the world and all nations must be admitted to them.

Those guys have won (a lot of) games and they're extremely well-coached. We look forward to the challenge, and it's going to be a challenging game I'm sure.
