Scotland duo Gray & Hogg facing lengthy injury lay-offs
By Christopher Devine
Scotland internationals Stuart Hogg and Jonny Gray are each facing four to six months out after undergoing surgery on respective shoulder and wrist injuries.
The duo's club, Glasgow Warriors, confirmed on Friday that both players had gone under the knife and are set to miss a considerable chunk of the 2017-18 season as a result.
Hogg - the player of the tournament in the 2017 Six Nations - had an underlying shoulder issue operated on after he was forced to return home early from the British and Irish Lions' tour of New Zealand due to a facial injury.
Lock Gray, meanwhile, was hurt on Scotland's summer tour.
It remains to be seen whether either man will recover in time to play a part in Scotland's November internationals.
Glasgow are also set to be without Ratu Tagive for six to nine months after the wing had surgery on a ruptured Achilles.

The prem games this season have mainly been great to watch , with the exception of Sale. So boring and predictable.
Let's have more of Bristol, Bath , Quins etc style of play.
Rugby needs expansive play to put more bums on seats . Not the dirge of rolling forward mauls constantly trying to bully their way over the line.
It has its place yes to draw the defence but the fans want to see more running rugby . Not win at any cost and sod the entertainment .
