WATCH: New footage surfaces of Owen Farrell-Ryan Wilson fracas

New footage of the disagreement between England’s Owen Farrell and Scotland’s Ryan Wilson before the Calcutta Cup on Saturday has emerged.

As the players were leaving the field after completing their pre-match warm-up, a tussle took place between Farrell and Wilson.

The television cameras caught the back-end of the scuffle, as both teams separated the duo.

This new footage, however, shows the Scottish forward in conversation with England fly-half George Ford, before Farrell angrily barges through to remonstrate with Wilson.

The match official Nigel Owens had no jurisdiction over the period of time before kickoff, but reportedly included a comment regarding the incident in his match report.

The Six Nations committee has allegedly made contact with both rugby governing bodies, and will ask the unions if they would like to raise any issues or take the matter further.

Scotland beat England 25-13 to win the Calcutta Cup for the first time in eight years.
