Rugby Ecosse draw a blank after conflict of interest is identified

A Scotland side is to take the field at the Singapore Sevens this weekend with blanked-out shirts because a conflict has been identified between RBS and Aberdeen Asset Management, two of the major sponsors of teams run by the sport's governing body, the Scottish Rugby Union.

Scotland 7s struggled badly at the Gold Coast tournament, the opening leg of the IRB's official HSBC World Cup Sevens circuit: they lost to Australia, Tonga and Fiji in the pool stages and were knocked out of the consolation Bowl in their first game by new head coach Phil Greening's native England.
