Brown Ruled Out of Ireland Clash

Wednesday, Feb. 25

Brown will play no part in the crucial game with Ireland on Sunday after losing his battle to overcome a concussion:

The 29-year-old was knocked unconscious during the team’s previous 47-17 victory over Italy and has been undergoing protocols for concussion since. But after failing to pass a stage, he has been deemed unfit to feature.

Brown has blossomed into a vital player for Stuart Lancaster’s side over the past couple of years and England will miss his assured presence in the back line. As noted by the Press Association (h/t The Guardian), Alex Goode is on standby to replace the Harlequins man.
