Watch Scotland v England on Saturday, February 25 from 5.30pm on RTÉ TWO.

Scotland lock Scott Murray has been suspended for three weeks following his sending-off against Wales in their RBS 6 Nations Championship defeat last Sunday.

Murray was given his marching orders just 22 minutes into his side's 28-18 defeat after he reacted to a late tackle from Ian Gough by lashing out with his boot and catching the Wales lock in the face.

At an independent disciplinary hearing in London today he was found to have committed the offence of recklessly kicking an opponent but he will only miss Scotland's Murrayfield clash with England on February 25.
