Leadership is one part of our game that has really developed over the last 12 months.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><!-- E SF --><\/p>\n<p>If Tindall is ruled out of Saturday&#8217;s match in Dublin, Bath&#8217;s Matt Banahan, who replaced him in the second half against Scotland, is likely to start. <\/p>\n<p>Johnson added: &#8220;Matt did really well in that position when he came on.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Banahan should be available to fill in at outside centre after early indications suggested he would not be cited for a clash with Kelly Brown. <\/p>\n<p>He had only just come on as a replacement for Tindall when he ran hard and straight at Brown, catching the Scotland number eight with his forearm as he tried to fend him off. <\/p>\n<p>The citing officer has until 1640 GMT on Tuesday to lodge a complaint but all the pointers are that no action will be taken. <\/p>\n<p>Tindall suffered ligament damage and is still walking around in a protective boot. <\/p>\n<p>He was cleared of a fracture on Sunday, and had an MRI scan on Monday, but England&#8217;s medics have decided to seek a specialist opinion. <\/p>\n<p>Tindall has been England&#8217;s stand-in captain for the Six Nations, with squad skipper Lewis Moody ruled out of the championship with knee ligament damage. <\/p>\n<p>Harlequins flanker Nick Easter would be the leading candidate to take over the captaincy should Tindall be unavailable. <\/p>\n<div readability=\"32\">\n<p>\t<!-- caption --><\/p>\n<p>Extended highlights &#8211; England 22-16 Scotland<\/p>\n<p><!-- END -
