THE SCOTTISH RUGBY Union have confirmed centre Sione Tuipulotu will play no part in this year’s Six Nations due to injury.
Scotland captain Tuipulotu suffered a pectoral muscle injury in a training session with Glasgow Warriors last week and will now sit out the entire championship as a result.
The 27-year-old will undergo surgery this week and the SRU state he is expected to return to action before the end of the season.
With the in-form Tuipulotu sidelined, Rory Darge and Finn Russell will co-captain Scotland in the Six Nations.
In a further blow for Scotland, Scott Cummings is also likely to miss the tournament.
The lock fractured his arm in Glasgow’s Champions Cup meeting with Harlequins over the weekend, and will undergo further review to determine when he will be fit to return.
Scotland do not intend to make any additions to their squad at this point.
Footballs the winner tonight. Jose would have killed the final.
Athletico found a cure for the cancer in football tonight. I’m delighted Johnny Ego is out he would have ruined the final. Good side Athletico.
Chelsea fan here better team won simple as that I hope Athletico go on to win it they’re a really likeable team. Going to be one hell of a final
A year in football is a long time. Spain is now the new Germany. Madrid were awesome last night and Atletico have been supreme all season, and a joy to watch. Should be some hell of a final.
Wonderful to see Chelsea and their horrible fans, owner and manager not getting to the final. Good riddance.
Thanks for the insult here’s a green thumb for you
Jose may look for a new job with the Seattle Seahawks #alloutdefense
Come on atletico!!
Simeone is doing a fantastic job at Atl. Madrid.
Good side atletico. Sets up good shoot out in the final
5 defenders in the starting 11 and set up like Giovanni Trappatoni was manager, brutal. Atletico tried to and did score goals. A class team. It would be an amazing story to see them win the double.
Actually was 6 defenders.
Defending is part of football to Noel however I’ll be the first to admit the better and classier team went through and well deserved, going to be a belter of a final.
Football 3 anti football 1 yesssss
Mourinho is been found out. Won twice with Porto and Inter parking the bus but hasn’t come close with Madrid and Chelsea. Will end the season with nothing after all his talk! Must be running out of excuses after all his defeats lately.
Porto were a good side in 2004, teams in champions league were poor at that time. He won with inter too, but like barca with the tippy tappy teams always come up with tactics to stop them.
Destiny I think. Hope Real get their decima
Think europe is fed up of jose. New fresh up and coming managers are the way forward. With jose its about him. Fair play atletico.
Now in fairness, take a bow, Eamon Dunphy, he’s telling us for a long time now about , the other Madrid..
Great defending isn’t 10 men behind the ball, Atletico showed that tonight and were even better going forward. Well deserved victory and an outstanding performance.
Just goes to show great defending isn’t just 10 men behind the ball, Atletico looked really solid and were outstanding going forward. Well deserved win.
