RugbyU: Barclay to captain Scotland against Wales

LONDON, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23rd Feb, 2017 ) - John Barclay will replace the injured Greig Laidlaw as Scotland captain for Saturday's Six Nations international against Wales at Murrayfield, it was announced Thursday.

Laidlaw was ruled out of the rest of the tournament after suffering an ankle injury that saw the scrum-half go off during the first half of Scotland's eventual 22-16 loss to France in Paris earlier this month.

Back-row forward Barclay took over the captaincy at the Stade de France and the flanker also had to leave the field, with a shoulder and head injury, although he has since been passed fit.
