Scotland lock Swinson facing long lay-off
By Peter Thompson
Scotland and Glasgow Warriors lock Tim Swinson will be out for around six months after undergoing surgery on his leg.
Swinson lasted just five minutes into Scotland 44-15 thrashing of Argentina last weekend before suffering an injury blow.
The Warriors on Thursday revealed that the forward has gone under the knife and faces a long road to recovery.
"Tim Swinson has undergone surgery on a leg injury sustained in Scotland’s 44-15 win over Argentina in Resistencia on Saturday," a short statement on the Pro14 club's website said.
"The 31-year-old returned home to undergo the operation and is expected to be out of action for around six months."

Ben Smith please write up something better than this. The Springboks would have won the world cup if you were 15 men on the field. They would have found a way, they always find a way to beat the All Blacks.
Go to commentsGOTTA MAKE ‘THE GEORGE’ HAPPEN!!!! That’s a great idea! A trans Tasman midget battle on ANZAC Day. I don’t think the ABs Wallabies game should be a one off winner takes all though, just the first match with the other two later in the year with the RC. Reason being, no one will ever shut up about how aussies couldn’t win it when it was a 3 match series.
