8 Dec
Summary
- Will Stuart sustained a suspected Achilles tendon injury on Saturday.
- The injury occurred during Bath's Champions Cup victory over Munster.
- Stuart's availability for the Six Nations is now in serious doubt.

England's preparation for the Six Nations has been dealt a significant blow with prop Will Stuart facing a serious doubt for the tournament's commencement. Stuart sustained a suspected Achilles tendon injury during Bath's dominant 40-14 victory over Munster in the Champions Cup last Saturday.
The injury forced Stuart off the field in the 49th minute, and he was later observed departing the stadium in a protective boot. Bath's head of rugby, Johan van Graan, expressed grave concerns, stating, "He's not in a good way. It looks like it's his Achilles."
Van Graan further elaborated on the severity, noting that Stuart "couldn't even stand up" when he was helped off the pitch, adding that an update would be provided but the situation looked "very serious." Stuart had been a key impact player for England, coming off the bench in recent matches against Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina.
