## Summary

Scotland have lost flanker Jamie Ritchie and prop Elliot Millar Mills from their Nations Championship squad after both were injured playing for their clubs. Three replacements have been called up, including uncapped prop Ollie Blyth-Lafferty, as Scotland prepare for a demanding run of November fixtures.

Ritchie, who has 63 caps, injured his knee after 10 minutes of Glasgow Warriors’ 29-20 win over the Lions; he had only recently returned from ankle and Achilles problems. Millar Mills, capped 15 times, suffered a leg injury five minutes into Newcastle’s 59-26 defeat by Northampton. Gus Warr will join training, while Glasgow back Josh McKay continues his hamstring rehabilitation; Scotland face New Zealand on 7 November, Australia eight days later and Japan on 21 November.
