Zapping Fifteen World 6 Nations Calendar 2024
France is not the only nation to experience injuries among internationals. It's Scotland's turn to face a very big blow this Monday since a package has just been made official. This package concerns the captain that Gregor Townsend had appointed, Sione Tuipulotu.
Two co-captains for Scotland
The Glasgow center was injured during training with his club. He is affected in the pectoral and will have to have surgery. His return is planned, according to the Scottish Rugby Federation press release, “before the end of the season”. But Tuipulotu will therefore miss the 2025 edition of the 6 Nations. Gregor Townsend therefore returns to a system already used before, with Finn Russell and Rory Darge who will be the two co-captains of the Chardon XV.
The press release specifies that no additional player would join the group at this stage of preparation.

To summarize
France is not the only nation to experience injuries among internationals. It is Scotland's turn to face a very big blow this Monday since a withdrawal has just been made official by the Federation, which implies a reorganization for Gregor Townsend.
