Bath and England back Anthony Watson will miss the rest of the season with an Achilles injury.
The fullback suffered the injury towards the end of the first half during England’s 24-15 defeat against Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday.
Director of Rugby, Todd Blackadder, said: “Anthony has been in superb form this year, and we’re obviously really disappointed to have lost him at a critical part of the season.
“However, he in great hands here with the support of the medical team here at Bath Rugby, and we will be working to ensure he is back to full fitness as soon as possible .”
