Rugby: Dunbar fails concussion test and misses Wallabies clash


EDINBURGH (Reuters) - Alex Dunbar has failed concussion tests and will be replaced by Peter Horne at centre in Scotland's team to face Australia at Murrayfield on Saturday. "He failed to meet the requirements of the graduated return to play protocol for the concussion he sustained against New Zealand last weekend," a Scottish Rugby statement said on Friday. Grant Gilchrist replaces Australian-born Ben Toolis at lock and Sean Maitland is back on the wing after belatedly joining the squad. Scotland are seeking another victory over Australia after their 24-19 victory in Sydney in June, which was revenge for a controversial exit at the hands of the Wallabies in the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Saturday's match is the last of three November internationals for Scotland, who beat Samoa before their loss to the All Blacks.
