Dave Cherry, a star player for Scotland, has been ruled out of the Rugby World Cup

Dave Cherry, a star player for Scotland, has been ruled out of the Rugby World Cup after concussing himself while falling down stairs at their team hotel.

Scotland hooker Dave Cherry will not play in his first Rugby World Cup due to an absurd incident that occurred in the team hotel.

On Monday, a team holiday, Cherry slipped on some stairs on the way back to the team hotel and hurt his head, Scotland reported on Thursday.
As a result, Cherry sustained a concussion.
.

According to Mail Sport’s sources, the hooker was not intoxicated despite having a few drinks at a family barbecue on the team’s day off.
He was taken to the hospital and kept there overnight as a precaution, they added.
.

Until he is prepared to return home, Cherry will remain with the group.
In the final 25 minutes of the Scots’ 18-3 defeat to South Africa in their opening pool game on Sunday, Cherry, 32, filled in for the original player.

Cherry would miss the following 12 days in order to adhere to return-to-play protocols, Scottish Rugby stated in a statement, so the decision was made to “end his tournament involvement on medical grounds.”.

Cherry would have only missed Scotland’s second pool game against Tonga on September 24 and would have most likely returned in time for Romania on September 30 and Ireland on October 7.

With a concussion, Cherry said, “I’m extremely disappointed to be leaving the squad.”.
“I enjoyed spending the summer in camp, and I was thrilled to be given my first World Cup start on Sunday against South Africa.

“For the remaining rounds of the competition, I want to wish the team luck.
“.

The 33-person roster has Cherry replaced by Stuart McInally, who led Scotland at the 2019 World Cup.

As a result of another hooker, Ewan Ashman, suffering a concussion last week, McInally was already prepared after traveling to France.

Ashman is on track to be available for selection the following week as long as he adheres to his return-to-play protocols.

McInally recently declared his intention to retire following the World Cup and begin training to become an airline pilot.
