Equestrian authorities in America are to pay tribute to a popular young Irish showjumper who died this week after suffering a massive heart attack.

American sprinter Mickey Grimes has been formally charged with his second doping offence.

Scotland were looking to end their Australasian tour and a 16-Test international season with an unlikely victory over the Wallabies at Sydney’s Telstra Stadium.

Iain Fullarton, the 17-stone Saracens-bound lock, has been confirmed as Stuart Grimes’ replacement in the Scotland side to play Australia in tomorrow’s second Test at Telstra Stadium.

Scotland coach Matt Williams was no closer to clearing the confusion over who will play in the second row in Saturday’s second Test against Australia after naming both Iain Fullarton and Craig Hamilton as possible partners to captain Scott Murray.
