Scotland lose Ritchie and Millar Mills through injury

Glasgow Warriors flanker Jamie Ritchie and Newcastle Red Bulls prop Elliot Millar Mills have dropped out of Scotland's Nations Championship squad after picking up injuries for their clubs over the weekend.

Uncapped Ollie Blyth-Lafferty, fellow Edinburgh prop D'arcy Rae and back-row clubmate Freddy Douglas have been called up as replacements.

Ritchie, who has 63 caps, joined Glasgow from Perpignan this summer but the 30-year-old only made his debut last month after being sidelined for the opening months of the season because of ankle and Achilles tendon issues.

He started the 24-20 win away to Benetton but came off with a knee injury after only 10 minutes of Friday's 29-20 win over Lions that took Glasgow to the top of the United Rugby Championship.
