Zander Fagerson, the Scotland prop, may be able to play in his country’s opening World Cup match, as he has received a reduced ban for his sending-off against France. Fagerson was dismissed after a high challenge on Pierre Bourgarit during the 50th minute of Saturday’s match at Murrayfield. Following a hearing, Fagerson was effectively given a two-match suspension. This means he will miss the return match against France and the meeting with Georgia on August 26, but he could potentially be available for the World Cup game against South Africa on September 10. Fagerson has been officially banned for three weeks, but he has the option to replace the last match with participation in the “Coaching Intervention Programme” to work on his technique. Scotland will also face Tonga, Romania, and Ireland in World Cup Pool B.
