Rugby World Cup: Stuart McInally replaces Dave Cherry in Scotland's squad
Written by I Dig Sports
Dave Cherry is out of Scotland's World Cup squad with a concussion suffered after slipping on hotel stairs.
Stuart McInally will replace hooker Cherry, 32, who sustained the head injury during "an accident in the team hotel" earlier this week.
Edinburgh team-mate McInally, 33, had been on standby after Ewan Ashman sustained a concussion of his own.
Ashman is, however, expected to be available for the Scots' second Pool B match against Tonga on 24 September.
"I'm hugely disappointed to be leaving the squad with concussion," said Cherry. "I've loved my time in camp over the summer and gaining my first World Cup cap on Sunday against South Africa.
"I want to wish the team all the best for the remainder of the competition."
Gregor Townsend's side lost 18-3 to the Springboks and will also face Romania and Ireland in France.
Former Scotland captain McInally featured at the previous World Cup in Japan.
