Andy Wilson out for a month

Andy Wilson will be out for a month
Glasgow's Andy Wilson will be out of action for at least a month having suffered damage to both knees during the Heineken Cup match with Northampton.

It's disappointing for Andy as his recent good form earned him a place in Scotland's squad preparing for the Six Nations, but with the squad training in Stirling today, the injuries have left him sidelined.

Andy's club captain, Jon Petrie, still has sore ribs and Scotland coach Matt Williams indicated he'll probably miss Glasgow's Celtic League game against Neath Swansea Ospreys on Saturday.

Calvin Howarth attended today's Scotland training session but was sidelined due to a tight back muscle.

"Sore ribs", "tight back muscle"...

When I was their age, I was in the trenches. In my day, you'd have a gangrenous, hanging-off leg before you'd let the team down. Let me tell you <snip>

Sorry to hear Andy has been injured - hope he (like all the others) is back playing very soon!
(Please let this be the end of our injury woes - we could together a full XV with our injured players!)

I feel particularly sorry for the big fella. It's only a year ago he wasn't even making the bench. He has worked so hard to make it into the international squad. The injury could not have come at a worse time.
