Jamie George Faces Six Nations Doubt After Hamstring Injury in Saracens Loss

The England hooker’s injury compounds a difficult week following his removal as national captain and Saracens’ defeat to Castres.

Jamie George sustained a hamstring injury during Saracens’ Champions Cup loss to Castres, making his availability for England’s Six Nations opener against Ireland uncertain.
The injury comes shortly after George was replaced as England captain by Maro Itoje, who also faced scrutiny for his leadership during Saracens’ defeat.
Saracens squandered a halftime lead, conceding 15 unanswered points in the final 25 minutes, resulting in a challenging away fixture against Toulon in the knockout stages.
Castres, fielding a largely second-string team, ended a 21-game away losing streak in the Champions Cup with their victory over Saracens.
Theo Dan impressed as Saracens’ starting hooker, scoring two tries and bolstering his case for England’s No. 2 jersey in the upcoming Six Nations.
