Injury Crisis Hits England's Women's Six Nations Squad

The English women's rugby team is experiencing significant depth issues after Hannah Botterman and May Campbell, both front rows, were ruled out of the Guinness Women's Six Nations. Botterman requires a second ankle surgery following an injury sustained in December during a match with Bristol, while Campbell will undergo knee surgery next week. Furthermore, England has lost another forward, Alex Matthews, who will miss the Scotland match due to a shoulder injury sustained during the 33-12 win over Ireland. To address these losses, Delaney Burns from Bristol Bears and Liz Crake from Saracens have been added to John Mitchell's squad. These injuries come on the heels of the announcement that lock Morwenna Talling and scrum-half Natasha Hunt will also miss the remainder of the tournament with leg injuries. The team is already without several key players, including Zoe Stratford, Abbie Ward, and Rosie Galligan, who are all expecting and will be out for the foreseeable future.
