Scotland medical staff have confirmed that prop Ryan Grant did not suffer a broken ankle during the team's defeat to Ireland on Saturday.

Grant was stretchered off the pitch in Dublin, with initial reports suggesting that he had sustained a serious injury.

However, an X-ray after the game showed that the 29-year-old did not fracture his ankle. Grant is expected to undergo a scan later this week to determine the full extent of the problem.

Scotland continue their Rugby World Cup preparations this Saturday when they face Italy in Rome.
