Four replacements join Scotland squad after six players ruled out injured ahead of their final Six Nations match against Ireland, with Brown and Cummings sidelined for weeks, Scottish Rugby Union said.
- The Scottish Rugby Union said on Monday that Scotland will be without locks Gregor Brown and Scott Cummings for this weekend's Six Nations clash with Ireland, and head coach Gregor Townsend has called up four players to replace six injured squad members.
