LONDON (Reuters) - England captain Owen Farrell said on Wednesday he is recovering well from hand surgery and fully expects to be fit to face Ireland in the team's opening Six Nations game against the champions on Feb. 2.

"The hand is good. I had something small done to it on the weekend," Farrell said at the tournament launch in London following an operation to repair a thumb tendon.
