Russell ruled out of French Test
Scotland stand-off Finn Russell has been ruled out of this Saturday’s Guinness Six Nations Test against France in Paris with a head injury (kick-off 2.15pm) – live on BBC.
The 26-year-old playmaker has not satisfied the requirements of today’s component of the graduated return to play protocol – two days on from sustaining the injury in Racing 92’s TOP 14 clash with Toulouse – meaning there is insufficient time for him to be considered for this weekend’s action.
He will now return to the care of his club’s medical team.
