The Scottish Rugby union have announced that back-row Magnus Bradbury will travel to Japan on Monday as precautionary injury cover for team-mate Jamie Ritchie.

Ritchie sustained a facial injury in Scotland’s 36-9 win over Georgia at Murrayfield on Friday.

Following specialist scans at Spire Murrayfield Hospital, Ritchie will remain in Scotland for specialist assessment, with the outcome influencing whether he remains part of the 31-man group for the Rugby World Cup which begins later this month.

Scotland are in the same pool as Ireland, Japan, Russia and Samoa and kick off their campaign against the Irish on September 22.
