ENGLAND have been told by Six Nations chiefs to explain the tunnel fracas involving Owen Farrell at Murrayfield on Saturday.

The Rugby Football Union and their Scottish counterparts have been asked to provide accounts of the scuffle that took place shortly before Eddie Jones’s men were defeated 25-13 in a pulsating Calcutta Cup match.

Television footage appears to show a clash between Farrell, England’s inside centre, and Scotland No 8 Ryan Wilson that ended when they were pulled apart by teammates.
