Jamie George limped off with a hamstring problem late in Saracens' Champions Cup defeat by Castres to make the England vice-captain a Six Nations doubt.
Jamie George limped off with a hamstring problem late in Saracens' 32-24 Champions Cup defeat by Castres that made him a Six Nations doubt to compound a miserable week for the England hooker. Replaced as England captain by club team-mate Maro Itoje when Steve Borthwick named his Six Nations squad on Tuesday, he then suffered an injury at StoneX Stadium that places his involvement against Ireland on February 1 in question.
'It wasn't a pack of kids, they were proper rugby players and we did try to communicate that to the team. We just weren't quite there mentally.' Scotland captain Tuipulotu also a Six Nations doubt with pectoral injuryScotland head coach Gregor Townsend is facing a pre-Six Nations sweat too after key duo Sione Tuipulotu and Scott Cummings emerged as injury concerns ahead of the championship.
