• Joseph ruled out of November internationals
England have been dealt a double injury setback before the new season with Anthony Watson a serious doubt for the start of next year’s Six Nations and Jonathan Joseph ruled out of November’s autumn internationals.
Watson was forced to undergo surgery on his torn achilles for the second time last month after the first operation effectively failed. The initial prognosis was six months, suggesting five more months on the sidelines, but there are some fears at Bath that Watson could be out until the latter stages of the season.
