London - England head coach Stuart Lancaster has confirmed Brad Barritt has been ruled out of the rest of his side's Six Nations campaign.
Barritt was challenging for Luther Burrell's place at inside centre for Saturday's Six Nations clash with Scotland at Twickenham, only for an ankle sprain suffered during Saracens' victory at Wasps on Sunday to prevent him from facing the Scots or France seven days later.
It is a cruel blow to Barritt, whose injury enables Burrell to continue operating in the backline.
