Speaking at a lunchtime press conference, assistant coach Dave Butcher said that it was as yet impossible to determine how long Orr will be sidelined for \u2013 or indeed to say what the precise injury is. \u201cWe know it\u2019s a leg injury, but until we\u2019ve had the MRI results back, we don\u2019t really know,\u201d he said when asked the likely length of Orr\u2019s lay-off. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s in a brace just now, but obviously that\u2019s precautionary. But until our medics tell us exactly what it is, I think it would be inappropriate for me to say what it is. We haven\u2019t had a full diagnosis on it yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Evie Wills replaced Orr in the 24-19 win at the Principality Stadium, but if McGhie is available to play after missing the Wales game, Shona Campbell could move from No 11 to 13 for Saturday\u2019s match. However, Butcher insisted the coaching team were in no hurry to decide.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously Evie has been in the squad as a 13, so when we look at the full squad, we\u2019d see who would step in,\u201d he added. \u201cEvie\u2019s been playing really, really well, so I think that would be a natural jumper-up in the squad.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we\u2019re playing a different opposition as well, so we\u2019d have to look at that combination. Obviously Emma\u2019s not playing this weekend, so massive shoes to fill. She\u2019s a world-class player, and we\u2019ve just had our final big session just now to look at everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n
No 8 Evie Gallagher, second-row Sarah Bonar and loosehead prop Anne Young are also expected to miss the championship through injury.<\/p>\n
Sione Fukofuka\u2018s side are looking to build on their dramatic Six Nations opening weekend win over Wales heading into this weekend\u2019s round two clash.<\/p>\n
While victory over the Red Roses on Saturday seems unlikely \u2013 Scotland haven\u2019t tasted success in this fixture in 29 games played this century \u2013 it is important that the dark blues are competitive in front of what will be the biggest ever crowd for a standalone women\u2019s sport\u2019s match in Scotland, with over 25,000 tickets sold already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Speaking at a lunchtime press conference, assistant coach Dave Butcher said that it was as yet impossible to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":531854,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[54026,5903,184071,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-531853","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-divi","9":"tag-rugby","10":"tag-scotland-women","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=531853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/531854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=531853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=531853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=531853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
