Ritchie to join Scotland in Japan
Back-row Jamie Ritchie will leave Edinburgh tomorrow (Thursday) to join the Scotland squad for Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan.
The Edinburgh forward sustained a facial injury in the national team’s win over Georgia at BT Murrayfield last weekend and remained home for further specialist assessment.
He will now join the rest of the Scotland squad at their training camp in Nagasaki, with teammate Magnus Bradbury remaining with the group as precautionary injury cover.
