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 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 latest setback adds to England's woes in the second row, with Talling becoming the latest player to be ruled out, following the withdrawals of Zoe Stratford, Abbie Ward, and Rosie Galligan 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 ahead of England's next match against Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday.
