EDINBURGH, Sept 25 : Scotland’s record try-scorer Darcy Graham faces three months on the sidelines after rupturing his bicep and will miss November’s home matches in the new Nations Championship.
• The 29-year-old winger, who has 38 tries in 57 Test appearances, suffered the injury playing for Edinburgh in a pre-season friendly defeat to Harlequins last week, and his club coach Sean Everitt said he would be out for a minimum of 12 weeks.
• “It’s not an injury that you can rush a player back from. You know, some players heal quicker than others. That would be the worst-case scenario for us, and I have to prepare that way,” said Everitt on the eve of the new United Rugby Championship season, where Edinburgh take on Ulster in Belfast on Friday.
• Scotland face New Zealand, Australia, and Japan at Murrayfield in the Nations Championship in November before a finals weekend fixture at Twickenham.
• Graham should be back in time for next year’s Six Nations tournament, which gets underway in early February.
