England head coach Eddie Jones has spoken about the injury Bath star Anthony Watson sustained against Ireland at Twickenham yesterday.
The speedster was driven off the pitch on a buggy in the 34th minute of the clash with Ireland at Twickenham.
Medics could be seen holding his ankle on the pitch after the full back stayed on the ground following a collision.
Jones confirmed post-match that Watson had suffered an Achilles injury, adding that it was “not good”, but did not offer any more information.
