Lock Young among five players to leave Scotland tour

The injured Glen Young is one of five players to fly home midway through Scotland’s summer tour of the Americas.

The Edinburgh lock made his first international start in the opening victory over Canada in Ottawa and has pulled out with a pectoral injury.

Northampton forwards Robbie Smith and Elliot Millar Mills have also left the group along with Edinburgh backs Ross Thompson and Ross McCann.

Millar Mills started against Canada and came off the bench in the weekend win over United States, while Smith featured as a replacement in both matches.

Thompson started against Canada and played 22 minutes in Washington, while McCann featured off the bench in the opening game.

Scotland have announced new Glasgow prop Fin Richardson, Warriors scrum-half Ben Afshar and Edinburgh lock Rob Carmichael have joined the squad as “development players” and will train with their compatriots for the rest of the tour.

Gregor Townsend’s side face Chile in Santiago on Saturday before rounding off their tour against Uruguay seven days later.
