Scotland's top try-scorer, Darcy Graham, will miss the autumn internationals due to a bicep injury. The 29-year-old winger, who has scored 38 tries in his 57 caps for Scotland, is set to be sidelined for at least 12 weeks as he recovers from a ruptured bicep. The injury occurred during a collision described by Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt as "pretty freakish." Everitt expressed disappointment, noting the timing of the injury is particularly unfortunate with the autumn Test series approaching.
Graham's absence means he won't be able to add to his try tally in Scotland's home matches against New Zealand, Australia, and Japan. The autumn internationals are part of the inaugural Nations Championship, a new competition in the northern hemisphere. Scotland's fixtures begin with a match against New Zealand at Murrayfield on 7 November, followed by games against Australia and Japan in the subsequent weekends. The series will conclude with a finals weekend at Twickenham on 27 and 28 November.
Scotland has had a mixed performance in the current Nations Championship. In the summer, they defeated Argentina and Fiji but suffered a heavy 42-28 loss to South Africa. Despite that defeat, Scotland remains in second place in the northern hemisphere standings, trailing only France. The absence of Graham, a key player for both Edinburgh and the national team, will be a significant blow to Scotland's campaign as they aim to secure a strong finish in the competition.
