Double Injury Setback for England in Women's Six Nations

A double injury blow has hit England, with Morwenna Talling and Natasha Hunt ruled out for the remainder of the Women's Six Nations due to leg injuries sustained during the 33-12 win over Ireland. Lock Talling was forced off after 43 minutes, while scrum-half Hunt lasted just 13 minutes before being substituted due to injury. This loss adds to England's existing second-row woes, with Zoe Stratford, Abbie Ward, and Rosie Galligan previously withdrawing due to pregnancy. England head coach John Mitchell acknowledged the challenge, stating the team may need to adapt by relying on back-rowers. Talling and Hunt will undergo rehabilitation at their respective clubs after seeing specialists. In response to the injuries, the RFU has added Sydney Gregson and uncapped Haidee Head to the squad ahead of the upcoming match against Scotland.
