Gregor Townsend delivered a pessimistic injury bulletin on Jamie Ritchie after the Scotland flanker was forced off an hour into the Calcutta Cup clash.

It was the only sour note for the home side who defeated England 20-17 to win the trophy for the second year in a row.

Ritchie was seen on crutches at the end of the game and there must now be a question mark over his participation in the remainder of this season’s Six Nations Championship.
