Scotland suffer double injury blow during Ireland Six Nations clash

Scotland’s hopes were dealt a significant blow during their Six Nations clash against Ireland at Murrayfield, with two key players suffering injuries in a dramatic turn of events.

Finn Russell, who had endured a tough opening 20 minutes, collided with winger Darcy Graham in an unfortunate accident.

The fly-half was immediately forced off the field for a head injury assessment.

However, the concern deepened for Graham, who has been plagued by injuries in recent years, as he was stretchered off the pitch.

The double injury setback leaves Scotland with significant challenges as they continue their Six Nations campaign, with both players’ fitness to be closely monitored in the days ahead.
