#3. Tom Curry (Sale Sharks)
Curry, regarded by many as England’s best player in recent years, may have caused concern for the new England head coach Steve Borthwick due to an injury ahead of the Six Nations.
Curry limped off in the 16th minute at Twickenham Stoop after his right leg was caught awkwardly in a tackle by Quins forward Wilco Louw.
Even without Tom for most of the game, Sale cemented their top-two spot in the Premiership with a hard-fought 24-16 bonus point win at third-placed Harlequins.
Sale director or rugby Alex Sanderson told BBC Radio 5 live: “We are predicting a low grade hamstring injury.
“He will have a scan [on Monday]. These things don’t turn around in a week, but I’ve already said to him ‘you get your head on for the Six Nations now’.”
#4. Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter Chiefs)
The hooker limped off the field with an ankle injury after scoring two tries in the Chiefs’ 35-12 win over Northampton in the Gallagher Premiership at Sandy Park.
Exeter head coach Ali Hepher commented on Cowan-Dickie’s injury, saying, ‘He has rolled his ankle and I am not quite sure where he is at, but to get him off the pitch, it must be pretty sore, so we will obviously assess where he is.’
Cowan-Dickie told BT Sport after the match, ‘When I got tackled from behind it rolled and I felt a little pop. I will wait to get a scan an hopefully it will be fine.'”
