The 32-year-old slipped down stairs at the team hotel during a day off and hurt his head.
Stuart McInally has been added to Scotland’s World Cup squad after his fellow Edinburgh hooker Dave Cherry suffered a concussion in an accident at the team hotel on Monday.
The 32-year-old slipped down stairs at the team hotel on a day off and hurt his head. He is now following return-to-play protocols, rendering him unavailable for at least the next 12 days. The decision was therefore taken to end Cherry’s involvement at his first World Cup on medical grounds. The situation has allowed McInally a remarkable and unexpected career swansong. The 33-year-old announced earlier this summer that he would be retiring following this World Cup but after being part of the provisional training group throughout the build-up, he was omitted when Gregor Townsend named his final 33-man squad last month.
Stuart McInally has been called up into the Rugby World Cup 2023 squad to replace David Cherry, who has left the tournament through injury.
