Duncan Weir: Glasgow Warriors’ Fly-Half Receives Three-Match Suspension Following Ospreys Encounter

Glasgow Warriors Fly-Half Duncan Weir Suspended for High Tackle Incident

In a recent clash against Ospreys, Glasgow Warriors’ fly-half Duncan Weir has found himself in hot waters after being cited for a high tackle during the game. The incident occurred last Friday and has resulted in a suspension of three matches for the experienced player.

The tackle on Keiran Williams forced the try-scoring center to be substituted due to a clash of heads. Weir received a yellow card at that moment but now faces further consequences from the citing panel.

Weir’s absence will be detrimental to Glasgow Warriors as he contributed significantly with his boot, amassing eleven points during their victorious encounter against Ospreys. However, this suspension means he will miss upcoming matches including Benetton’s visit in the United Rugby Championship.

Surgery Leaves Scrum-Half Jamie Dobie Unavailable:

Another blow to Glasgow Warriors comes with scrum-half Jamie Dobie being unavailable due to an ankle injury which required surgery. He sustained this injury during the defeat against Ospreys and his absence will surely be felt by the team moving forward.

A Shuffling of Players:

‍This unfortunate turn of events coincided with Scotland’s number nine Ali Price leaving on a season-long loan to Edinburgh seeking more playing time. Dobie’s injury and Weir’s suspension have brought about a reshuffling of players for Glasgow Warriors, testing the depth of their squad.
