Sporting Digest: Rugby Union

Keith Wood will tour South Africa with Ireland this summer. The hooker originally asked not to be considered but he has made himself available for all but the first two matches of the tour after Newcastle's Ross Nesdale withdrew because of a recurring ankle injury, which will require surgery.

Scotland's third match of their tour to Australia and Fiji has been changed. They will now play a New South Wales Country XV at Carrington Park, Bathurst, on 2 June.
