Fullarton steps into the breach

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.

Grimes last night failed in his attempts to overturn a two-match suspension, imposed for “trampling” on Wallabies number eight David Lyons in the first Test, opening the way for Fullarton to make his first start for Scotland in four years.
