Tim Visser Scotland v New Zealand try 2012

'Flank' problem?: Tim Visser

Several Scotland players were carrying injuries heading into Tuesday's training session after their 51-22 defeat by New Zealand.

Scotland flanker Ross Rennie has been treated by a surgeon after suffering a dislocated shoulder and seems set to miss this weekend's clash at home to South Africa.

Rennie, winning his 20th cap, was injured during the build-up to the first of six All Blacks tries, scored by Israel Dagg, and was replaced by Edinburgh team-mate David Denton in the 23rd minute.

Scotland wing Tim Visser, who scored two tries against the All Blacks, with the Dutch-born flyer suffering from a "flank" problem.

Meanwhile props Geoff Cross (ribs) and Ryan Grant (back), replacement hooker Scott Lawson (shoulder), lock Jim Hamilton (dead leg), centres Matt Scott (shoulder) and Nick de Luca (calf) also sustained knocks against the All Blacks.

After playing South Africa, who won 16-12 against Ireland in Dublin last weekend, Scotland conclude their November Test series with a match against Tonga in Aberdeen on November 24.
