Scotland hooker Fergus Thomson is in danger of missing the World Cup due to injury. Thomson, 27, is facing six months on the sidelines after a recurrence of a shoulder injury resulted in the Warriors forward requiring surgery.

“I’m gutted at missing out on the chance to compete at the World Cup,” said Thomson.

Thomson has eight caps for Scotland and featured at the 2007 World Cup.

Robinson expressed his sympathy for Thomson, saying: “It’s obviously disappointing news for Fergus but we wish him a speedy recovery.”

The Glasgow star vowed to make it back into Sean Lineen’s team as soon as possible.
