Marlie Packer, the captain of England, is awaiting medical updates after being removed from the game against Ireland on Saturday.
In the first half of her team’s 48-0 victory, Packer hobbled off due to a leg problem after the departure of prop Hannah Botterman, who was also hurt.
The two’s participation in England’s game against France the following Saturday. When they tried to complete the Grand Slam at Twickenham in front of what is predicted to be a record-breaking female rugby viewership, is now in doubt.
Both were smiling while using crutches in photos taken after the game.
“Both players picked up injuries quite early in the game, and we got them off, but we were lucky in that we were in a good position at that point.” “The medics made a great decision to get them off the field as soon as possible so they could start looking at them, not taking risks and making it worse. We just have to assess them and see where they are at.”
England head coach Simon Middleton told the BBC.
In the 26th minute, Packer scored a try that gave England a bonus point. Shortly after, Morwenna Talling came in to take Packer’s place.
Despite dominating the scoreboard, Ireland defeated England due to careless mistakes and a 30-minute shutout in the second half.
“It is a bit bittersweet at the moment.” “We are very frustrated with how we went about it and the ball wasn’t clean.”
England’s Natasha ‘Mo’ Hunt told BBC.
