RAW

Powered by

Scottish back-row forward Josh Strauss has been ruled out of the rest of the Six Nations tournament with a kidney injury.

Strauss was injured during Scotland's 22-16 defeat by France in Paris on Sunday and will be sent back to his club Glasgow Warriors to begin his rehabilitation.

"After completing the match, he was scanned in Paris. Both the scan, and the player, were reviewed at Spire Murrayfield Hospital back in Scotland, where the full extent of the injury was confirmed," the Scottish Rugby Union said in a statement.
