Injured England flanker Tom Wood speaks of his disappointment at missing out on their Six Nations openers in The Daily Telegraph.
"The 25-year-old could not disguise his dejection: one moment he had been touted as a shoo-in for the England captaincy, the next he learned he would be spending four weeks in an orthopaedic boot. “Mentally, I’m still trying to catch up with the reality of it,” he said.
"Speaking at Twickenham, surveying the stage where he hopes to return for England’s first home match of the Six Nations, against Wales on Feb 25, Wood was struggling to absorb the shock of missing both the opener against Scotland at Murrayfield on Feb 4 and the trip to Rome a week later.
“I’m really disappointed,” he told The Daily Telegraph. “I had set my heart on being fit for Scotland, being available for selection. I had kind of assumed that would be the case. But it turns out that’s going to put me at risk.”
