Talisman Finn Russell recovers from heavy blows in matchScots have fortnight to regroup between first two games
Scotland are confident they have come through their bruising encounter with South Africa without sustaining any notable injuries. Their talisman Finn Russell took a couple of heavy blows in Sunday’s 18-3 defeat by the Springboks in Marseille but early indications are positive on the fitness front.
Coach Brad Mooar, speaking on Monday afternoon after the team returned to their World Cup base near Nice, said: “It appears we’ve got a clean bill of health there out of the game. Finn’s all good. Clearly it was a very physical game, as you’d expect, so there’s the odd bruise and bump but nothing that’s going to keep people out.”
