TOM Croft will miss the rest of the England’s Six Nations campaign and probably the rest of the Premiership season, after he suffered a dislocated shoulder playing for Leicester Tigers against Newcastle at the weekend.

The 29-year-old had only just returned from knee injury, which had ruled him out earlier in the season.

He forced his way back into the England squad and had been a replacement in the first three Six Nations game.

Croft, will now hope he makes a speedy recovery, so he can play a full part in England’s pre-World Cup training ahead of the start of the tournament in September.
