Graham leaves hospital & Russell 'fine' after clash

Scotland winger Darcy Graham has been released from hospital after being diagnosed with a concussion following Sunday's Six Nations defeat by Ireland.

Graham clashed heads with team-mate Finn Russell during the first half of the match at Murrayfield.

Both players were left prone on the turf and, while Russell walked off for a head injury assessment (HIA), Graham left the field on a stretcher.

Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend later revealed that co-captain Russell passed his HIA but the national team medics were uneasy about him continuing.

"Finn fine," Townsend said. "He passed his HIA but our staff sensed he wasn't totally aware of what was going on, so we made the call to not put him back on."

The Scottish Rugby Union later confirmed that Graham has now left hospital and will be managed in line with the concussion protocols.
