Stuart McInally has been added to Scotland\u2019s Rugby World Cup squad after his fellow Edinburgh hooker Dave Cherry suffered a concussion in an accident at the team hotel on Monday.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old slipped down stairs at the team hotel on a day off and hurt his head. He is now following return-to-play protocols, rendering him unavailable for at least the next 12 days.<\/p>\n

The decision was therefore taken to end Cherry\u2019s involvement at his first World Cup on medical grounds.<\/p>\n

The situation has allowed McInally a remarkable and unexpected career swansong. The 33-year-old announced earlier this summer that he would be retiring following this World Cup but after being part of the provisional training group throughout the build-up, he was omitted when Gregor Townsend named his final 33-man squad last month.<\/p>\n

McInally, who captained Scotland into the last World Cup in Japan, arrived in France last week as a standby following a concussion sustained by Ewan Ashman.<\/p>\n

However, he has now been officially drafted in to the squad to replace Cherry, who featured as a second-half replacement in Sunday\u2019s 18-3 defeat by South Africa.<\/p>\n

Cherry told Scottish Rugby: \u201cI\u2019m hugely disappointed to be leaving the squad with concussion. I\u2019ve loved my time in camp over the summer and gaining my first World Cup cap on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to wish the team all the best for the remainder of the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ashman is continuing his return-to-play protocols and is currently on track to be available for selection for next Sunday\u2019s match against Tonga in Nice.<\/p>\n
