Glasgow Warriors flanker, John Barclay, and centre Graeme Morrison were joined in the treatment room this morning by ten other players following yesterdays bruising defeat against Wales in Scotland’s opening RBS 6 Nations encounter.

Barclay (neck strain) and Morrison (knee strain) were described as having “significant bumps and bruises” by Scotland team doctor James Robson.

Scrum-half Chris Cusiter, who will join the Warriors in the summer, was also suffering from knee trouble.

The other Scotland players receiving treatment for injuries were: Mike Blair (dead leg), Scott Gray (neck strain), Jim Hamilton (scratch to his eye), Allan Jacobsen (knee sprain), Jason White (calf bruising), Phil Godman (knee bruising) and Ben Cairns (hip bruising).

The two players who were forced to retire with head knocks – prop Geoff Cross and wing Simon Webster – are the biggest concern ahead of Saturday’s RBS 6 Nations Championship match with France in Paris.

Scotland team doctor James Robson said: “Simon is fully conscious today as he was last night.  He has had a good night’s sleep and will now be subject to the usual protocol after a head injury.”

That protocol involves the player being monitored through various degrees of physical activity before being examined by a neurologist and it would be only at that point that he would be given clearance to resume.

Dr Robson continued: “Geoff also had a good night’s sleep and will be subject to the same protocol as Simon.  He also has strains to both knees.”

The Scotland players were doing a post-game pool recovery session today. The Scotland team to play France is scheduled to be announced tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Nathan Hines, the Perpignan lock, will be re-assessed later today. A knee injury forced Hines to miss the Welsh match.  Prop Euan Murray, also absent against the Welsh, is continuing to make “slow and steady progress” with his rib injury.
