(Reuters) - England captain Owen Farrell is spending extra time in training with strength and conditioning head Jon Clarke to improve his tackling technique ahead of his return from a ban, head coach Eddie Jones has said.

Farrell is set to feature in Sunday's game with Barbarians after completing a five-match suspension he received last month for a dangerous high tackle playing for club side Saracens against Wasps.
