(Reuters) - Scotland winger Sean Maitland will miss Saturday's Six Nations game against Wales following his breach of COVID-19 protocols while on duty with the Barbarians, coach Gregor Townsend said.

Maitland was among the Barbarians players who left their team hotel without the permission of the organisers last week, which led to the cancellation of Sunday's game with England at Twickenham.
