(Reuters) - England scrumhalf Alex Mitchell has been ruled out of Saturday's Six Nations clash against Scotland due to a knee injury, with Harry Randall coming in as his replacement, the Rugby Football Union said on Sunday.

While Mitchell's injury is a blow, England have received a boost with the return of centre Ollie Lawrence, who missed the first two games against Italy and Wales through injury.
