Double Injury Setback for England in Women's Six Nations

A double injury setback has hit England, with Morwenna Talling and Natasha Hunt ruled out for the remainder of the Women's Six Nations tournament. Both players suffered leg injuries during the team's 33-12 victory over Ireland at Allianz Stadium, which drew a record crowd of 77,120. Lock Talling was forced off the field after 43 minutes, while replacement scrum-half Hunt lasted just 13 minutes before being substituted due to injury. This latest setback adds to England's woes in the second row, with Zoe Stratford, Abbie Ward, and Rosie Galligan having withdrawn from the tournament due to pregnancy. England head coach John Mitchell remains optimistic, stating that the team will adapt and find alternative solutions, potentially relying on back-rowers to fill the gaps. Talling and Hunt will remain in the England camp to consult with specialists before beginning their rehabilitation at their respective clubs. The RFU has confirmed that Sydney Gregson and uncapped Haidee Head have joined the squad to prepare for the upcoming match against Scotland at Murrayfield.
