Stand-offs did not finish game in defeat of WalesDuncan Weir in frame for Autumn Nations CupScotland’s Autumn Nations Cup hopes have suffered a major blow with their stand-offs Finn Russell and Adam Hastings been ruled out with injury. In a further setback, Hastings is unlikely to feature in next year’s Six Nations campaign.
Russell suffered a groin injury as he made his first start for the Scots in more than a year during Saturday’s win over Wales in Llanelli. The 28-year-old was replaced by Hastings, but the Glasgow No 10 did not finish the 14-10 victory in the final game of this year’s delayed Six Nations either after suffering a dislocated shoulder.
