Injury rules Graham out of Scotland's autumn Tests

Scotland will have to manage without their all-time leading try scorer during the upcoming autumn internationals due to a bicep injury. The Edinburgh winger suffered a tendon rupture during a bizarre collision, which his club coach confirmed will keep him out of action for roughly three months.

Consequently, the prominent back will miss home fixtures against New Zealand, Australia, and Japan.

The series opens with a match against the All Blacks at Murrayfield early in November, followed by the remaining tests at Edinburgh venues and a concluding tournament stage at Twickenham. Head coach Gregor Townsend's squad currently holds second place in the northern hemisphere standings behind France, following a summer campaign featuring victories over Argentina and Fiji alongside a loss to South Africa.
