Strokosch out of Autumn Tests

Strokosch, who won his 17^thcap on the summer tour of Argentina, damaged knee ligaments in the closing stages of his club's Aviva Premiership Rugby match with Harlequins at the weekend and is expected to be sidelined for the next six weeks.

Scotland head coach Andy Robinson said:

"We wish Alasdair a speedy recovery. We may yet draft another player into the squad for our training camp in St Andrews next week and we'll discuss that after the matches this weekend."

Scotland play New Zealand on Saturday 13 November and South Africa on Saturday 20 November, both at Murrayfield, and conclude their Autumn Tests against Samoa on Saturday 27 November at Pittodrie Stadium, Aberdeen.
