However, the Saracens’ head coach Mark McCall, revealed Farrell, from Manchester, was so dedicated to the game that he called him to say he could play in the Champions Cup quarter-final against Glasgow – despite Georgie being in hospital giving birth to their baby boy.
Ben and Charlotte, nee Beardshaw – who is a Cosmetic Nurse at The Hospital Group – are believed to have met during a charity show organised for veteran doctors and physiologists in London.
Hard-working Charlotte is believed to still be juggling her work and being a mum to the youngsters, as well as supporting the Leicester Tigers scrumhalf’s career. While she keeps a low profile, Youngs can’t resist gushing about her on social media, and last year posted a photo of her running the London Marathon, writing, “So proud of my super human wife.”

My partner Alyse has been awesome keeping my morale high. It’s been tough dealing with me bed-bound and miserable but she’s passed with flying colours!”
Alyse is also BFFs and colleague’s with former WAG Eloise Harris - who dated Watson’s England teammate Jonathon Joseph for four years until he allegedly cheated on her with Casey Batchelor in 2015.
The pair met at the £18, 618-a-year Whitgift School for boys in Croydon, south London, where Daly was a pupil and she worked as a sports events organiser – although they were both 18 at the time.

In 2017, he dropped a knee in Mykonos, saying, “I finally asked the love of my life to marry me! She thankfully said yes. I'm really looking forward to what the future brings.”
Two days before he joined the team out in Japan last week, Luke Cowan-Dickie revealed he was going to be a dad for the first time with his partner of two years, Chloe Rose. Chloe from Cornwall, is a supportive girlfriend and attends most of the Exeter Chief prop’s games.
In their anniversary tribute, Chloe – who is a fan of Instagram bikini shots – wrote: “Thanks for asking me to be your girlfriend, or I would have ended up on The Undateables.”

Last year, property developer and blogger Jessica revealed her fears of their children following in their dad’s footsteps as she would worry their safety.

Rugby Union In New Zealand
England head coach Steve Borthwick has named Owen Farrell and Marcus Smith in his squad for the Six Nations, with Billy Vunipola, Jack Nowell and Jonny May missing out.
Farrell will once again captain the side, with the new England coach putting his faith in the veteran as Eddie Jones did before.
Courtney Lawes is back in the squad following injury and there are also returns for Dan Cole, Ben Curry, Alex Dombrandt and Nick Isiekwe, plus backs Elliot Daly, Dan Kelly, Max Malins and Joe Marchant.

Elliot Daly (Saracens, 57 caps), Owen Farrell (Saracens, 101 caps), Tommy Freeman (Northampton Saints, 3 caps), Ollie Hassell-Collins (London Irish, uncapped), Dan Kelly (Leicester Tigers, 1 cap), Max Malins (Saracens, 14 caps), Joe Marchant (Harlequins, 13 caps), Alex Mitchell (Northampton Saints, 1 cap), Cadan Murley (Harlequins, uncapped), Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs, 52 caps), Fin Smith (Northampton Saints, uncapped), Marcus Smith (Harlequins, 17 caps), Freddie Steward (Leicester Tigers, 17 caps), Manu Tuilagi (Sale Sharks, 50 caps), Jack van Poortvliet (Leicester Tigers, 7 caps), Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers, 121 caps)
Veteran prop Cole's last match was the World Cup final defeat by South Africa in 2019 but his set-piece form at Leicester, where Borthwick coached until replacing Jones at England last month, has earned the 35-year-old a recall.

Borthwick has also handed a call up to Northampton Saints' Fin Smith, who is one of five uncapped players in the group alongside Ollie Hassell-Collins, George McGuigan, Cadan Murley and Jack Walker.
Sky Sports' James Cole says the omissions of Billy Vunipola, Jack Nowell and Jonny May is evidence of Steve Borthwick looking to put his stamp on the England squad.
England begin their Six Nations campaign at home to Scotland on Saturday February 4, before returning to Twickenham the following weekend to take on Italy (Sunday February 12).

Borthwick's side then visit Wales (Saturday February 25) and host France (Saturday March 11) before concluding the competition with a trip to Ireland (Saturday March 18).
Borthwick said: This is an exciting squad, with a blend of Six Nations experience and young talent, and includes players who are in excellent form in the Premiership.
We are all looking forward to the challenges of the Six Nations and we will approach this great tournament with a spirit of courage and total commitment.

I know the players can't wait to get back to Twickenham and give our fans a performance they can be proud of.
When we met the players we sensed the pain from the Tests in the autumn but also a determination and excitement to get to work. Every game matters when you play for England and we have 19 days to prepare for Scotland at Twickenham.
The omissions of Billy Vunipola, Jonny May and Jack Nowell - all regulars under Eddie Jones - is a clear sign that Borthwick is keen to put his stamp on the team. As is the return of 95-cap veteran prop Dan Cole - whose international career had appeared over after not featuring for England since 2019.

England head coach Steve Borthwick discusses the importance of making every minute count in his new role and just how he can improve the squad ahead of the 2023 Six Nations.
Uncapped Northampton fly half Fin Smith was the most notable new face. He's just 20 and also qualifies for Scotland, courtesy of his grandfather a former British & Irish Lions star.
It caps a rapid rise for Smith, whose career was in the balance after being released by liquidated Worcester last year and once again shows Borthwick's desire to give fresh talent a chance.
Opinion: The England Team Steve Borthwick Should Pick Against France
Owen Farrell will continue as captain for the Six Nations, but Borthwick stopped short of backing him to lead them at the World Cup later this year.
The England head coach was also keen to highlight the role other leaders within group will play, singling out his former Leicester captain, Ellis Genge; a sign that he could be earmarked for the role in the longer-term future.
England's new defence coach Kevin Sinfield has backed the new head coach, Steve Borthwick to succeed in his new role and says his team will only look forward and not back.

There were also a couple of elephants in the room at today's squad announcement - not least the news overnight that Eddie Jones has been put in charge of Australia.
Borthwick played a straight bat, but there many are now questioning why the RFU didn't prevent Jones joining a rival nation following his sacking.
He was given a three-game ban by the RFU disciplinary panel. The RFU have since made him available for Saracens the weekend before the Six Nations (when he will be in camp with England), to ensure he can play against Scotland.

Borthwick insisted he'd been assured by the RFU legal team that all is legit but there are many outside of the England circle who believe it makes a mockery of the disciplinary process.
Borthwick insists his focus is on Scotland and not a potential World Cup collision course with Jones after his coaching mentor was placed in charge of Australia.
Borthwick and Jones could go head to head in the quarter-finals, creating a fascinating sub plot to the tournament being staged in France later this year.

Jones was sacked by England last month after presiding over a dismal 2022 and has been replaced by Borthwick, his former number two with Japan and at Twickenham.
I know the World Cup is around the corner but in 19 days' time we play Scotland and that's our focus, Borthwick said.
I'm delighted for Eddie that he is coaching his home country. The day that I was announced as England head coach he sent me a message wishing
