Alex Dunbar and Richie Gray add to Scotland's injury concerns

Centre Alex Dunbar and second-row Richie Gray have not met up with the Scotland squad at their camp this week due to injury while George Turner is set to miss the whole tournament.

Dunbar, 27, sustained a head knock as Glasgow Warriors defeated Exeter Chiefs on Saturday while 28-year-old Gray has a calf issue and is still with his club Toulouse.

Hooker Turner, who earned his first two international caps in November, has picked up a knee injury and is set to be out until the middle of March at least

“Richie has a calf issue. He's in France at the moment. We're hoping he'll be joining us at some point in the near future,” forwards coach Dan McFarland said. “Hopefully it will be relatively soon. We were disappointed for Richie.

“When you think of all the time Richie took to come back from his [back] injury. He has played over the last two or three games and has been looking athletic. He was getting round the park as if he had never been away from that.

“There were bits of his game he was looking to improve and we had been in contact over those things. He was looking in a really good position to step on. We would have liked to have seen him play this weekend but it looks like he won’t. That was a disappointment.”
