England’s Nations Championship plans hit by Pepper and Van Rensburg double blow
England’s head coach Steve Borthwick faces a setback for the Nations Championship after losing two players, Guy Pepper and Benhard van Rensburg, to injuries that will sideline them for the entire autumn. Pepper suffered a knee injury, while van Rensburg sustained a shoulder problem, both ruling them out of fixtures. This leaves England with squad as they prepare for matches against Wales and Scotland.
