Jacobsen, 28, was carried off on a stretcher during Scotland`s opening 56-10 win over Portugal in St Etienne.

The Scotland camp confirmed that the Edinburgh forward would miss the rest of the tournament.

Jacobsen will be replaced by Alasdair Dickinson, who has received an unexpected birthday present with his call-up.

The uncapped Gloucester player, who turns 24 on Tuesday, will fly into Lyon on Monday before meeting up with the rest of the squad.

And Scotland coach Frank Hadden feels Dickinson can soften the blow of Jacobsen`s loss.

Hadden said: "It`s clearly a disappointment to lose `Chunk`.

"He worked incredibly hard over the summer and was in great shape.

"However, Ally was also part of our preparation squad so he is very much up to speed with what we do and he has worked assiduously on his development as a player."

Dickinson, who has been involved in one of Gloucester's pre-season games, said: "I'm delighted to be called up, but obviously I feel a bit for `Chunk` because he's a good mate from my days with Edinburgh."
