Stuart McInally has been added to Scotland’s World Cup squad after his fellow Edinburgh hooker Dave Cherry suffered a concussion
‘It’s very difficult for Dave, and it’s sad,’ says Gregor TownsendGregor Townsend expressed sympathy for Dave Cherry after the veteran hooker’s first World Cup was brought to a premature end by a fall down the stairs at Scotland’s team hotel.
Stuart McInally in training in July. He was omitted from the World Cup squad but now gets his chance.“It’s very difficult for Dave, and it’s sad,” Townsend, the head coach, said in Nice. “At least he got to play in a game. His wife [sic] is just about to give birth so at least he’s got something positive to go back to. He did well to get himself into the World Cup squad and he did well at the weekend. He would have had more involvement as we went through the pool.
However the long-serving Edinburgh forward was invited out to France last week to provide cover after the hooker Ewan Ashman sustained a head knock in training and he attended Sunday’s match against the world champions before being told his services were no longer required and flying home on Monday. McInally’s rollercoaster summer then took another twist when he was summoned back to the south of France on Wednesday.
