- Lawrence was injured just eight minutes from England's victory over Italy
- Final teammate Smith admitted the incident. 'He broke his heart' while he was in the field
- The center is ready to see a specialist to discover the seriousness of the Achilles problem
England will enter Super Saturday with an external possibility of winning the six nations, but they will have to do it without the Ollie Lawrence power center.
A seven -attempt victory over Italy kept the hopes of English alive, but was affected after Lawrence broke his Achilles in the eighth minute.
Lawrence will not be available for the final round test against Wales and is also ready to miss the Lions tour this summer through Australia.
“There is a kind of deeper level and when you see one of your best colleagues potentially losing the opportunity to make a lions tour and what will surely be a massive year for him, break your heart,” said teammate ending Smith.
'I think I was probably too destroyed in the field to see that that happened and maybe it shook me for a few minutes. I probably made some mistakes on the back. We are all absolutely devastated by him. I have everything crossed that scannings say that it is not so bad, but that it does not look bright. It is absolutely devastated. We have to be good friends for him now and take care of him because it will be a difficult time for him.
Lawrence will see a specialist earlier this week while England prepares to face a team of Wales who has suffered 16 consecutive losses since the 2023 World Cup.

Final teammate Smith said that “his heart broke” to see Lawrence's lions the hopes are apparently dissolved in front of him.
With Henry Slade left out of the team, Elliot Daly was transferred to the center of the field, although the end Tommy Freeman is another candidate to start on T -shirt 13 in Cardiff.
“Obviously we have a couple of options on how we make a change,” said Steve Borthwick. 'It was Elliot's ability to cover the center, Tommy's ability to go to the center, so there were adaptations and at different times in the game we did it in different ways. There would be no doubt about any of those guys playing in the center.
The victory was an adequate occasion for the prostitute Jamie George, who led the team with her 100th cap. Captain Maro Iitoje paid tribute to his teammates, saying: 'He is an incredible rugby player. Bring leadership, brings calm, brings hardness. As a prostitute, a striker, is one of the smartest rugby players with whom I have played.
'I think my career has been richer as a result of playing and working with Jamie. Jamie unites the group, he is the best person of people. All you want is the best for the team. I am absolutely delighted with Jamie, and they still have much more in the tank. So I'm excited to see how it continues.
