England Rugby Faces Injury Concerns Ahead of Six Nations

England's rugby team is dealing with significant injury concerns as they approach the Six Nations championship. One of the key players affected is George Furbank, the full-back for Northampton Saints, who fractured his arm during the Champions Cup match against the Vodacom Bulls. This injury could potentially keep him out of the opening rounds of the Six Nations.

Furbank, who is also the club captain, has been a crucial player for both Northampton and England, starting three of England’s four Tests last month. His absence would be a significant loss, as highlighted by Northampton head coach Sam Vesty, who noted that Furbank has grown into a leadership role over the last couple of years.

Another concern is George Ford, the flyhalf for Sale Sharks, who has undergone a scan for a knee injury that is affecting his goal-kicking. However, Sale Sharks director of rugby Alex Sanderson has reassured that Ford is still available for selection and can continue to deliver spiral kicks and touch finders despite the injury.

In terms of recent performances, Sale Sharks had an impressive 29-7 victory over Racing 92 in the Investec Champions Cup, with Rob du Preez taking over the kicking duties from Ford. This win showcased the team's resilience and adaptability.
