Farrell harm his ankle in coaching along with his membership, Saracens, final week and requires surgical procedure.
Saracens stated he can be out for as much as 10 weeks.
“Owen is out of the Six Nations. It is a huge blow for him personally and for the workforce it is a blow,” Jones stated on the match launch. “But it surely’s clearly a possibility for different guys to step up into management roles and for different gamers to play for that No. 12 jumper.
“We see it extra as a possibility. In right now’s rugby, having your greatest workforce on the sector is a uncommon prevalence. We’re fairly used to it. There’s a possibility there to construct a bit extra management depth.”

Farrell was again in coaching on his return from one other ankle harm that had stored him out for 2 months.
