Anthony Watson's season is over
By Harry West
Bath have confirmed Anthony Watson will miss the rest of the Premiership season after sustaining an Achilles injury during England's Six Nations defeat to Ireland.
Watson was carried from the field in the first half of England's 24-15 loss at Twickenham on Saturday and was replaced by Mike Brown.
With five matches of the domestic season remaining, Bath sit seventh in the table, five points shy of the fourth and final play-off qualification berth.
But they will have to cope without Watson, who can play at full-back or on the wing, for their games against leaders Exeter Chiefs, fellow top-four contenders Leicester Tigers, Saracens, Gloucester and bottom club London Irish.
"Anthony has been in superb form this year, and we're obviously really disappointed to have lost him at a critical part of the season," said Bath director of rugby Todd Blackadder.

Interesting comments about Touch. England’s hosting the Touch World Cup this year and the numbers have exploded since their last World Cup in 2019, something like 70% more teams and 40 nations taking part. And England Touch have made a big thing about how many universities are in their BUCS University Touch Championship as well as Sport England membership. Can only see this growing even more domestically as more people become aware of it
Go to comments“Cortez Ratima is light years ahead of anyone on current form, while TJ Perenara has also skyrocketed into contention following the unfortunate injury to the talented Cam Roigard.” At last some sanity. Hitherto so many pundits have been wittering on about Finlay Christie to the point one wondered if they were observing a FC in a parallel universe where the FC they saw wasnt just the mediocre Shayne Philpott project of Fosters hapless AB reign in the real world. Ratima, Perenara and Fakatava are the ONLY logical 9s for Razor now Roigard is crocked.
