Bath boss Stuart Hooper has moved to play down an injury scare surrounding England star Anthony Watson.
The winger limped out of Bath’s 25-19 Champions Cup defeat to Quins at the Recreation Ground on Friday.
“He feels all right,” Bath rugby director Hooper said.
🗣️ “We were just making sure we looked after him. I think he’s all right, yes. It’s not his knee. He just pulled up a bit tight, so we just brought him off.” #BATvHAR

England looks like being without injured Exeter centre Henry Slade for the early Six Nations action, with the World Cup runners-up facing France in a Paris opener on February 2.
