Itoje out for six weeks

Itoje fractured his right hand in Saracens' 44-26 European Champions Cup win over Scarlets on Saturday.

"For any team to lose a player of the ability of Maro is a blow and he will be missed through the autumn [November and December] for both Saracens and England," said Saracens Director of Rugby Mark McCall.

"What's now important for Maro is his recovery and we look forward to his return later this season."

Itoje will miss England's Tests against South Africa, Fiji, Argentina and Australia.
