England’s replacement tighthead-prop Will Stuart suffered a horrible looking injury in the closing stages of their defeat to South Africa.
Replacing Kyle Sinckler at the break, Stuart had been playing well prior to suffering the injury.
“Medics are assessing him to see how long it will be, but it’s not looking good,” Bath coach JP Ferreira said.
“It’s sad for him because he’s come back, done really well, got into the England set up again and now he’s injured again,
“He’s had a bad run of injuries, hopefully this is his last.”
One fan wrote: “Hope the Will Stuart injury is not as grim as it looks – having such a bad run of injuries”
A second commented: “Noooooooo not Will Stuart! Fingers crossed it isn’t as bad as it looks:
“That was horrible. Hoping Will Stuart is okay,” said a third.
A fourth added: “Stuart was screaming in pain. Grim.”
RUCK will post an update as soon as we learn more about Stuart’s injury.

“It’s over for him” – Five England players who flopped and who should replace them for the Six Nations
#1. Mako Vunipola
Planet Rugby 3/10: “As expected, Frans Malherbe gave him an absolute going over in the set-piece.”
Telegraph 4/10: “Penalised at the first scrum for pushing straight down, before getting one back. Off at half-time, probably always the plan, as England turned to Genge’s dynamism to spark life into their attack.”
Mail Online 3/10: “First start for 18 months and hooked at half-time like the rest of the front row without making an impact.”
Replacement: Joe Marler
