- Northampton 14-34 Sale
- Tuilagi injures achilles and Lawes damages ankle
Manu Tuilagi and Courtney Lawes are major injury concerns for England’s autumn campaign after both limped off in the early stages of Sale’s emphatic win at Northampton, potentially handing Eddie Jones a significant blow.
Tuilagi went down with an injury to his left achilles soon after Lawes had hobbled off with an ankle problem and – with Jones naming a provisional England squad, without Premiership semi-finalists, at the start of next week – the timing is terrible.
