Rugby Union: Glasgow joins Scotland tour
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Graham Shiel has been ruled out of the rest of Scotland's New Zealand tour because of the knee injury he suffered during the game against the Divisional XV at Blenheim on Tuesday.
The injury to the Melrose centre is not serious, but Scotland have decided to bring in the Heriot's FP wing Cameron Glasgow as a replacement. He is due to arrive tomorrow.
Speaking from the squad base in Dunedin, where the Scots are preparing for the first Test against New Zealand tomorrow, their team manager, Jim Telfer, said: "The advice from the medics was that he would not be available for the two remaining games after Saturday."
While the injury is another blow to the Scots on a poor tour, New Zealand, whom they have never beaten, are buoyant. Apart from Jonah Lomu and Jeff Wilson on the wings, New Zealand have the brilliant new find Christian Cullen at full-back.
Scotland lost 31-16 in 1990 at Carisbrook when Ian Jones, who tomorrow will play in his 50th Test for New Zealand, made his debut.
NEW ZEALAND V SCOTLAND (First Test, Dunedin, tomorrow): C Cullen; J Wilson, F Bunce, S McLeod, J Lomu; A Mehrtens, J Marshall; O Brown, S Fitzpatrick (capt), C Dowd, R Brooke, I Jones, M Jones, Z Brooke, J Kronfeld.
