De Luca to miss England game

Scotland centre Nick De Luca has been ruled out of Saturday's RBS 6 Nations clash with England at Murrayfield.

De Luca sprained his right ankle during Edinburgh's Magners League draw with Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade at the weekend.

Scotland doctor James Robson said: "The injury is not as bad as first feared but Nick is unavailable for selection this weekend and will continue his rehabilitation under the care of the Edinburgh medical staff."

Lock forwards Nathan Hines and Scott MacLeod were also unable to train on Monday with knee and shoulder injuries respectively.

Scott Murray, Scotland's most-capped player, and Edinburgh's Craig Hamilton have been added to training squad.
