England to start 6 Nations campaign without injured Sam Underhill

England might suffer a major blow when they start their Six Nations campaign against defending champions Ireland in Dublin next month after openside flanker Sam Underhill injured his ankle in Bath‘s victory over Leicester on Sunday.

Underhill, who was one of England’s standout performers during their November Test programme, was in fine form for Bath in their 23‑16 triumph over the Tigers at the Recreation Ground but was forced off the field early in the second half with his injury.

This will be a concern for England Coach Eddie Jones when they start their Six Nations campaign.

Bath director of rugby Todd Blackadder could not shed much light on the extent of Underhill’s injury however he says that it was serious enough for him to come off.

England will take on Ireland on the 2nd of next month in the Six Nations Competition.
