ByThe Courier Reporter
Scotland will hope to have forwards Jonny Gray and Ross Ford in their team to face Australia in the World Cup quarter-final after confirming they are appealing the three week ban handed to the pair.
Hooker Ford and lock Gray were punished after being found guilty of dumping Samoa’s Jack Lam on his head with an illegal two-man tip tackle.
The Scottish Rugby Union announced on their Twitter account: “Scottish Rugby can confirm it will appeal against the suspensions given to Ross Ford and Jonny Gray following the RWC match vs Samoa.”
