England fret over Fin Smith’s fitness for looming Australia match

England rugby are concerned about fly-half Fin Smith's fitness ahead of their Nations Championship home opener against Australia next week. Smith, who plays for Northampton, suffered a calf injury in the second half of their match against Leicester on Saturday and will miss the national squad's three-day training camp in Bagshot this week. Head coach Steve Borthwick has responded to the injury doubt by calling up Charlie Atkinson, with Guy Pepper and Bernhard van Rensburg also among the fitness concerns.
