Shane Geraghty's hopes of an England recall have been dashed by injury.

The London Irish back has returned to his club from England's training base in Bath for further investigation and assessment on a knee injury suffered during Irish's Guinness Premiership victory over Leicester yesterday.

Geraghty, a fly-half or centre who made his Test debut during last season's RBS 6 Nations Championship, will undergo an MRI scan later today.

Part of England's 31-man training squad preparing to meet France in Paris next Saturday, Geraghty had been tipped to make the match-day 22.
