Rugby player Dave Cherry collapses in the hotel and suffers a concussion

A freak incident in the team hotel has ruled Scotland hooker Dave Cherry out of his first Rugby World Cup. Cherry suffered a concussion on Monday a team day off when he slipped on the stairs and injured his head, Scotland said on Thursday.The 32-year-old Cherry played the last 25 minutes of the Scots' opening pool match, the 18-3 loss to South Africa on Sunday, as a replacement. In a statement, Scottish Rugby said a decision was taken to “end his tournament involvement on medical grounds” because Cherry would miss the next 12 days to follow return-to-play protocols. Cherry would have missed only Scotland's second pool match, against Tonga on Sept. 24, and would likely have returned in time for Romania on Sept. 30 and Ireland on Oct. 7. “I’m hugely disappointed to be leaving the squad with concussion," Cherry said. "I’ve loved my time in camp over the summer and gaining my first World Cup cap on Sunday against South Africa. “I want to wish the team all the best for the remainder of the competition.” Stuart McInally, who captained Scotland at the 2019 World Cup, has replaced Cherry in the 33-man squad.
