England rugby faces significant challenges as injuries plague the national team ahead of the Six Nations. Key player Sam Underhill, who plays for Bath, has sustained a serious ankle injury that will require surgery, sidelining him for the entire Six Nations campaign. This injury occurred during a recent Gallagher Premiership match against Northampton, and the timeline for his recovery remains uncertain.

Bath's recent performance in the Premiership saw them suffer a narrow defeat against Northampton. Despite this setback, the club has announced a revised lineup for their upcoming Investec Champions Cup match against Clermont, featuring five changes. Notable inclusions in the starting XV are Thomas du Toit, Charlie Ewels, Ted Hill, Tom de Glanville, and Ruaridh McConnochie. Additionally, Bath will be without players Will Muir and Guy Pepper for the remainder of January due to injuries.

In the Premiership Women’s Rugby, Leicester Tigers are gearing up for a challenging away match against Saracens. Head coach Tom Hudson has made ten changes to the starting lineup, including a revamped front and back row. Players like Jenny Maxwell will start at scrum half, while Emily Henrich shifts from the wing to a more central position. The match against Saracens is expected to be tough, especially with the return of key players such as Poppy Cleall and Fancy Bermudez to their squad.

As teams navigate a congested schedule, the focus remains on managing injuries and preparing for the upcoming Six Nations, which will be crucial for their performances in both the Premiership and international competitions.
