Women's Six Nations: Two England stars ruled out for rest of tournament

The pair both sustained issues in the second half of the Red Roses’ victory and will now miss the rest of the Championship as they begin their recovery programmes. Hunt, a key figure in England’s half-back depth, and Talling, an imposing lock option, will both see specialists while remaining in camp this week.

Following their assessments, the duo will return to their respective clubs to continue rehabilitation, working closely with the Red Roses medical team as part of their ongoing recovery plans. England will now look to manage their squad depth through the remainder of the tournament, with further selections expected ahead of their next fixture.

In a positive development for the squad, Haidee Head of Trailfinders Women and Saracens back Sydney Gregson have both been called into camp to bolster preparations for the upcoming clash with Scotland. Their arrival adds fresh options and experience as England continue their build-up during a testing Six Nations campaign.

The Red Roses remain focused on maintaining momentum following their opening-round performance, but will be forced to adapt without Hunt and Talling for the rest of the Championship. Both players will now turn their attention to recovery and rehabilitation, with timelines for their return to play to be determined after specialist consultations.

England’s medical and coaching teams will continue to monitor all players closely in the coming weeks as they prepare for a crucial middle phase of the tournament, where squad depth is expected to be tested further.
