TOULOUSE - Scotland have called up Edinburgh hooker Stuart McInally to replace David Cherry in their Rugby World Cup squad after Cherry suffered an accident at their hotel, the team said on Thursday.
Cherry suffered a concussion after slipping on the stairs at the hotel on Monday, Scottish Rugby said, and the team took the decision to replace him in the squad for the rest of the tournament.
McInally had already been on standby following a concussion suffered by Ewan Ashman last week, Scottish Rugby added.
