Rugby Union: James Craig left out of Scotland A side

The Scotland A selectors have left out James Craig, the teenage wing for their match against France A at Rodez a week tomorrow. Team manager Doug Morgan said the West of Scotland flier had been omitted because it was felt he had not fully recovered from a flu bug. Scotland are able to call in the capped wing Craig Joiner, who has resumed playing with Leicester.
