Scotland: Gregor Townsend provides Finn Russell and Darcy Graham injury update after defeat to Ireland Gregor Townsend providing a positive update on Finn Russell and Darcy Graham after Scotland’s defeat to Ireland.
A Van der Merwe try and two penalties from Blair Kinghorn got Scotland to within six points early in the second period, but Ireland pulled away as they secured another bonus-point win.
Scotland fell to an 11th straight defeat against Ireland, who eased to a 32-18 win at Murrayfield on Saturday to move to the top of the Six Nations standings.
It was a disastrous start for Scotland, as they fell 17-0 down in the early stages and had Russell and Graham forced off after a nasty clash of heads.
Russell was able to walk off off the pitch and passed a Head Injury Assessment (HIA), but the decision was made for him not to return to the pitch.
