Dunbar, who would have started the game at Twickenham, had a scan on Thursday which revealed the extent of the damage.

A statement from the Scottish Rugby Union said Glasgow Warriors player Dunbar would need surgery and would be out for six to nine months.

Matt Scott will play in place of Dunbar at Twickenham.
