Tom Jordan and Jamie Ritchie have been ruled out of Scotland's final tour match against Samoa after being injured in the bruising defeat by Fiji.

Tom Jordan fractured a bone in his hand during Scotland's defeat by Fiji in Suva. | SNS Group / SRU The better news for head coach Gregor Townsend is that Matt Fagerson has been able to train. The Glasgow Warriors forward hurt his ankle against Fiji which raised concerns given he had just returned after three months out with a serious ankle injury but he will be available for selection for Friday. Played on with broken hand 'Jamie, unfortunately, he's hurt his foot,' said Pete Horne, Scotland's assistant coach. 'He's going to be ruled out, which is a shame for him. We've got good news on Matt, he trained today, and is going to be fit, which is great. 'And then another one that's unlucky is Tom Jordan. He had a little bit of pain after the game, and he's such a tough bugger, he doesn't really complain about anything, but he had a bit of swelling in his hand. He went for a scan and an x-ray today, and he's actually got a fracture in his hand. So he's going to be ruled out of this week as well.'

Hammered at the breakdown Horne said Scotland would try to 'right the wrongs' of the 29-14 defeat by Fiji in Suva when they faced Samoa at Eden Park. He expects a similar challenge to the one posed by the Fijians who were worthy winners on Saturday. 'Samoa are always traditionally very physical, that's what they're proud of,' said Horne. 'That's something that's really in their culture and their heritage, if you like. We'll expect another bruising encounter, but I think the boys will definitely be up for it.

Rugby-Scotland lose Jordan and Ritchie to injury
Rugby Union - Six Nations Championship - Scotland v Wales - Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh, Scotland, Britain - March 8, 2025 Scotland's Tom Jordan runs in to score their second try REUTERS/Russell Cheyne (Reuters) -Scotland centre Tom Jordan and loose forward Jamie Ritchie have been ruled out of their test against Samoa on Friday after suffering injuries in Fiji last weekend, Scottish Rugby said on Monday. Jordan played the entire match despite sustaining a fractured hand during the 29-14 defeat in Suva, while former captain Ritchie hurt his foot and was replaced after 21 minutes. Confirmation of their unavailability came after the call-up of three Scottish players as injury cover for the British and Irish Lions. Rory Sutherland, Ewan Ashman and Darcy Graham will bolster the squad for the Lions' match against the First Nations-Pasifika team on July 22 in Melbourne. That comes between the first and second tests against Australia and allows Lions coach Andy Farrell to rest all the players who will be involved in the test. Winger Graham joined up with the Lions on Monday, two days after he received two yellow cards and left Scotland a man down for the last part of their loss to Fiji. Loosehead prop Sutherland, who played in two tests in the last Lions tour in South Africa, and hooker Ewan Ashman will stay with the Scottish camp until after their test against Samoa, which is being played in Auckland, New Zealand.
