Double Injury Setback for England in Women's Six Nations

A double injury blow has hit England's Women's Six Nations campaign, with Morwenna Talling and Natasha Hunt ruled out for the remainder of the tournament. The pair sustained leg injuries during England's 33-12 victory over Ireland at Allianz Stadium, with Talling being forced off after 43 minutes and Hunt lasting just 13 minutes after coming on as a substitute. This setback adds to England's existing lock crisis, with Zoe Stratford, Abbie Ward, and Rosie Galligan having withdrawn from the tournament due to pregnancy. England head coach John Mitchell acknowledged the challenge, stating that the team may need to adapt by relying on back-rowers. Talling and Hunt will undergo rehabilitation at their respective clubs after seeing specialists. The RFU has confirmed that Sydney Gregson and uncapped player Haidee Head have joined the squad ahead of the upcoming match against Scotland at Murrayfield.
