Scotland lose injured Dunbar for June tour

By Peter Hanson
Alex Dunbar in action for Scotland

Alex Dunbar has been ruled out of Scotland's June matches against Canada, the United States and Argentina with a hamstring injury.

The centre picked up the problem while training with Glasgow Warriors and was sent for tests, which confirmed he would miss his country's fixtures next month.

Mark Bennett, who has not featured for Scotland since the 61-21 Calcutta Cup drubbing to England in the 2017 Six Nations, has been called up as Dunbar's replacement.

Scotland meet Canada on June 9, take on USA a week later and then round out their tour with a fixture against Argentina on June 23.
