Double Injury Setback for England in Women's Six Nations
England's Women's Six Nations campaign has been hit by a double injury setback, with Morwenna Talling and Natasha Hunt forced to withdraw from the rest of the tournament due to leg injuries sustained during the 33-12 victory over Ireland at Allianz Stadium. The injuries occurred in the second half of the match, with lock Talling being taken off after 43 minutes and replacement scrum-half Hunt lasting 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 already ruled out due to pregnancy. England head coach John Mitchell acknowledged the challenge, stating that the team may have to rely 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 player Haidee Head have joined the squad to prepare for the upcoming match against Scotland at Murrayfield.
