Scotland have been dealt a huge blow today with the news that Edinburgh tighthead WP Nel has been ruled out with a neck injury.
A MRI scan on Wednesday at Spire Murrayfield Hospital revealed that the prop damaged an intervertebral disc in his neck during a significant collision in his club’s Challenge Cup win over Harlequins at the Stoop last Saturday.
Nel will now have a second specialist assessment at Spire this Monday to consider his programme of recovery and whether corrective surgery is required.
