Wounded Warriors in treatment room

John Barclay is being treated for a neck strain
Glasgow flanker, John Barclay, and centre Graeme Morrison were joined in the treatment room this morning by ten other players following Scotland's bruising defeat against Wales.

John (neck strain) and Graeme (knee strain) were described as having “significant bumps and bruises” by Scotland team doctor James Robson.

Scrum-half Chris Cusiter, who will join the Warriors in the summer, was also suffering from knee trouble.

The other Scotland players receiving treatment for injuries were: Mike Blair (dead leg), Scott Gray (neck strain), Jim Hamilton (scratch to his eye), Allan Jacobsen (knee sprain), Jason White (calf bruising), Phil Godman (knee bruising) and Ben Cairns (hip bruising).

The two players who were forced to retire with head knocks – prop Geoff Cross and wing Simon Webster – are the biggest concern ahead of Saturday’s RBS 6 Nations Championship match with France in Paris.

Nathan Hines, the Perpignan lock, will be re-assessed later today. A knee injury forced Hines to miss the Welsh match. Prop Euan Murray, also absent against the Welsh, is continuing to make “slow and steady progress” with his rib injury.

The Scotland team to play France was scheduled to be announced tomorrow but the injury situation means it will be delayed until Wednesday.
