THE SCOTTISH RUGBY Union have confirmed centre Sione Tuipulotu will play no part in this year’s Six Nations due to injury.
Scotland captain Tuipulotu suffered a pectoral muscle injury in a training session with Glasgow Warriors last week and will now sit out the entire championship as a result.
The 27-year-old will undergo surgery this week and the SRU state he is expected to return to action before the end of the season.
With the in-form Tuipulotu sidelined, Rory Darge and Finn Russell will co-captain Scotland in the Six Nations.
In a further blow for Scotland, Scott Cummings is also likely to miss the tournament.
The lock fractured his arm in Glasgow’s Champions Cup meeting with Harlequins over the weekend, and will undergo further review to determine when he will be fit to return.
Scotland do not intend to make any additions to their squad at this point.
The Rangers are at their lowest eb that they are now considering a former GAA playing Irish Catholic manager to help them stop 10 in a row.
What a time to be alive.
@Ciaran Rice: Thought you were calling them Sevco? Rangers haven’t a hope of stopping anyone from winning the league in the next five years
@Noel Ryan: I dont call them Sevco. I call them by their new name, The Rangers.
Do Rangers not know he’s…..ye know…….one of them?
Wouldn’t it be just wonderful to see him manage an all Ireland team ?
3 poisoned chalices!
As a Sunderland fan, he should stay well away from them especially with Short as owner…
Rangers are comical!!
Funny. Going from one non country to another non country.
If he was going to move anywhere, i’d prefer to see him go to sunderland
