Glasgow pair Zander Fagerson and Ryan Wilson face lengthy spell on sidelines
By PA
Scotland and Glasgow forward Zander Fagerson has been ruled out until February while Ryan Wilson faces months on the sidelines.
Warriors last week flagged up the serious nature of Fagerson’s hamstring problem by stating he was out for “the foreseeable”.
The latest update read: “Zander Fagerson has also begun his rehabilitation after the hamstring injury he suffered against Zebre Parma, and is expected to be out of action until February.”
Scotland begin their Guinness Six Nations campaign against England on February 4 and also face Wales and France before the end of that month.
Former skipper Wilson suffered an injury against Bath in their opening Challenge Cup win on December 10.
A club statement read: “Ryan Wilson has begun his rehabilitation after suffering a knee injury against Bath, and will be out of action for the coming months.”
Warriors also remain without Oli Kebble (shoulder), Cole Forbes (neck), Alex Samuel (back), Scott Cummings (foot), Enrique Pieretto (chest), Allan Dell (calf), Thomas Gordon (calf) and Rory Darge (ankle) for their 1872 Cup opener against Edinburgh on Friday.

Vaai is finally having his breakout year getting comfortable and showing great form at lock, and there are form players and experience all across the backrow, why on earth would you drop him to 6. Ridiculous
Go to commentsSo far, the All Blacks have won 8 matches out of 11 this year. That is a near 73% win rate. AB fans and, I assume, the team itself are not content with that and have everything to play for with the remaining 3 tests this year.
Their historical average is something like 77% these days and, although some years will always be better than others it is not likely to drop that dramatically to 70% any time soon. There is too much historical inertia on the stats. It is like saying Ireland’s form of the last 10 years or so is likely to reverse a historical average of 48% wins soon. It just isn’t.
Moreover, when you say they are ‘doomed’ to a 70% flatline are you not just assuming that Ireland will beat them again? How did that work out for you last time?
