Ryan Wilson ruled out of the Six Nations, with major concerns for star duo
By Online Editors
Scotland have been hit by a triple whammy of injuries following the Ireland match on Saturday.
Back-row Ryan Wilson will play no further part in the 2019 Guinness Six Nations, while two of their major stars are injury worries.
In a statement this morning the SRU said: "The Glasgow Warriors forward sustained knee ligament damage in the national team’s round two defeat to Ireland at BT Murrayfield Stadium on Saturday and will return to the care of his club’s medical team.
"Centre Huw Jones and full-back Stuart Hogg suffered knee and shoulder ligament injuries respectively in the same game.
"Both remain part of the Scotland squad and will be assessed by a specialist this week to inform their programme of rehabilitation."
Gregor Townsend shouldered the responsibility for Scotland’s Six Nations defeat at home to Ireland on Saturday.
Defending Grand Slam champions Ireland, reeling from a shock loss to England in Dublin in their opener last week, prevailed 22-13 at Murrayfield to reignite their title hopes.
Townsend had seen his side pick off Italy 33-20 last time out, but the head coach admitted their failings in attack against Joe Schmidt’s men pointed to mistakes on his part.
“I’m so proud of the players with the way they played and the effort they put in,” he said.
“A game of rugby is a lot of things. It’s the defence battle, the contact battle, the kicking game which is so important. I thought with the pressure we put on Ireland’s kicks, we won those battles.
“But it was just that final piece, the execution off set-piece which has been really good, that fell off the jigsaw today, and that’s my fault.
“I’m the attack coach, and we weren’t able to get those two or three phases either to get in behind the defence or set up our attack shape.
“I’m frustrated we gifted them a try through our error but very happy with how we played in the first half. The second half our execution of our set-piece plays to get us into our game just didn’t happen.
“If we were able to replicate that first half after the break, then I think we’d be here with a win.”

Yeah, I don’t really get it either.
The teams will need to be more competitive at some stage as I’m sure it won’t be cost effective before long. It’s a lot of money and resources they have to pump into it just to field teams, let alone compete.
Even with the Boks only focus being on RWC’s, the euro comps would be a great way to develop test players in the first 1-3 years of a RWC cycle.
Go to commentsIt's a fact: Reddit has always been, is, and will be my source for crypto discussions, security tips, and market trends. Little did I know it would be the same site that helped save me from financial ruin. Some months ago, an AMA thread about Trust Geeks Hack Expert showed up. People asked them anything: from lost wallet recoveries to phishing scams; their answers sounded really detailed, transparent, and full of insight. At the time, I didn't know that their help was near. It all started with what I thought was a routine software update. I had received an e-mail from what looked like a trusted exchange, telling me to install an important patch. The email looked *legit—*matching the branding, formatting, and even the usual tone of messages I had received before. Without a second thought, I downloaded the update and installed it. Biggest mistake of my life. It froze within minutes, and then it automatically restarted. My crypto wallet was empty when I regained access. $200,000-gone. At first, I thought it was some kind of glitch, but as I dug deeper, the cold reality hit me hard: I had been hacked. The "update" was a form of malware designed to drain wallets by injecting malicious code. Panic set in, but rather than spiral, I remembered the Trust Geeks Hack Expert AMA. Their confidence in handling cases like mine had stood out to me. I rushed back to the thread, found their contact details Website https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/-- Email: trustgeekshackexpert{@}fastservice{.}com, and reached out immediately. Their response was prompt and very reassuring. They asked for every little detail I could remember-from the time of the installation of the fake update to the exact nature of the transactions I had done prior to this. They got to work, tracing the movement of my stolen funds using some advanced blockchain forensics.
Days went by, and I had my doubts, but they kept me updated. Then came a message that I was praying for; they had recovered my $200,000. It sounded like a dream come true. All stress, regret, and anger vanished at that moment. Trust Geeks Hack Expert saved not only my funds but also taught me a lesson which will never be forgotten: never trust email links. Now, I double-check every update; use cold storage for large amounts; don't click on anything that's remotely suspicious. If not for that Reddit AMA, I would have never found the only team skilled enough to turn my disaster into a comeback story.
