Very bad timing for T.Vissier and Edinburgh and also Scotland ,with the internationals just round the cornerHope he recovers very quickly,as im looking forward to seeing how Scotland play this aurtum,Under the new coaches ,who should be settled in now.To be honest Scotland havent been that licky concerning injuries this year Ansbro-Hogg-Scott and now Vissier have all been badly injured this season.
