Six Nations: Scotland trio ruled out for visit to Wales


Scotland will need to make two changes in the back row for Saturday’s Six Nations visit to Wales, with Jamie Ritchie and Jack Dempsey injured, along with winger Jamie Dobie.

The trio were all withdrawn during the 31-20 win over England at Murrayfield.

Dempsey has damaged a bicep, Ritchie has a knee issue, while a shoulder problem rules Dobie out.

At the weekend, head coach Gregor Townsend suggested all of the injuries were “serious” and a squad update from Scottish Rugby says the players have returned to their clubs for assessment.

Townsend is scheduled to name his team to face Wales on Thursday.
