Scotland have suffered a major blow with lock Richie Gray and back rower Luke Crosbie ruled out for the remainder of the Six Nations.
Gray has a bicep injury while Crosbie is suffering from a shoulder problem – the pair sustaining the knocks during the dramatic 27-26 win over Wales at the weekend.

Full-back Blair Kinghorn is also unlikely to be ready to face France at Murrayfield on Saturday due to a knee injury.
There is better news, however, with Grant Gilchrist back from suspension and Rory Darge expected to be fit.
WP Nel and Darcy Graham’s return from injury will step up a notch this week when they start training again with Edinburgh.
A squad update has been issued ahead of Scotland v France as Luke Crosbie & Richie Gray are both ruled out of the Championship through injury.
