Flutey likely to feature in Twickenham corporate hospitality experience

04/01/2010

Rugby fans enjoying a corporate hospitality experience at Twickenham during the 2010 Six Nations look likely to see Riki Flutey in action.

The England and British Lions centre sat out the autumn internationals because of a shoulder injury, with Martin Johnson's team sorely missing his creativity in midfield.

Flutey returned to action in France at the weekend, lining up for his club Brive in a 29-9 victory against Perpignan.

Perhaps significantly, he partnered another England international Jamie Noon in the centre for Brive.

Flutey will now hope to use Brive's Heineken Cup games against Leinster and Llanelli Scarlets to convince Johnson he is back to his best.

People planning a corporate hospitality experience at Twickenham for the Six Nations opener between England and Wales on February 6th 2010 may be less certain about who will wear the England number ten shirt.

Jonny Wilkinson was replaced at half-time as Toulon suffered a heavy defeat against Clermont Auvergne on Sunday, but Toby Flood impressed by kicking 17 points in Leicester's 22-15 win at Saracens on Saturday.
