Triple Six Nations injury blow for Scotland

INJURIES: Scotland suffered a triple Six Nations injury blow on Thursday when Glasgow’s Fraser Brown, George Horne and Alex Allan were all ruled out of the tournament.

Forward Brown will be out for at least three months following a neck injury he suffered while playing in the Autumn Nations Cup against Ireland.

Scrumhalf Horne needs surgery on a foot injury.

Both players will miss the entire Six Nations which gets underway on February 6.

Prop forward Allan has undergone surgery on an Achilles injury and will sit out the rest of the season.
