Scotland captain Sione Tuipulotu withdraws from Six Nations

Major player and captain of the Scottish fifteen, Sione Tuipulotu will not play in the Six Nations Tournament. Affected in the pectoral muscle and already absent last weekend in the Champions Cup with Glasgow, the 27-year-old center will undergo surgery. He should only return to competition at the end of the season. In his absence, flanker Rory Darge and fly-half Finn Russell, 32, will be Scotland's co-captains.
