Hodgson answers Scotland SOS

By @pasport
Tuesday 1 Nov 2022

INJURY UPDATE: Edinburgh lock Jamie Hodgson has been called up to the Scotland squad after Sam Skinner withdrew through injury.

The 27-year-old Glasgow Warriors second row forward was forced off in the first half of last Saturday’s 15-16 loss to Australia and left Murrayfield afterwards with his foot in a brace.

It was confirmed on Tuesday that Skinner has dropped out of contention and that Hodgson – capped six times since making his debut against Tonga a year ago – has been drafted in ahead of this weekend’s second year-end Test at home to Fiji.

Skinner is the third second row forward to be hit by injury.

Scott Cummings dropped out of the squad last week and Jonny Gray has been deemed unavailable for the Australia game.

It remains to be seen if the Exeter lock will be fit enough to return this weekend.
