Courtney Lawes has described the recent injury problems that left him with persistent headaches and affected vision caused by “headrush”, having been restored to the England captaincy for Saturday’s key Six Nations clash against Wales.
Lawes has been cleared to make his first appearance in six weeks at Twickenham this weekend, having been sidelined with a head injury since Northampton’s European Cup defeat by Ulster on 16 January. After arriving into camp with England later that month Lawes had a scan and visited a specialist who identified that the problem was with his vestibular system, or in his own words, “the connection between your eyes, ears and neck”, which had been “rattled”.
