Scotland suffer triple injury blow

SCOTLAND team doctor James Robson has confirmed Thom Evans, Chris Paterson and Rory Lamont will miss the rest of the Six Nations after all suffered serious injuries in Saturday’s dramatic defeat by Wales in Cardiff.

Wing Evans was carried off on a stretcher following a sickening collision with Lee Byrne, and the Glasgow man subsequently underwent successful neck surgery at Cardiff University Hospital.

Full-back Paterson, who was winning his 100th cap, had to leave the fray having suffered bruising to his kidney while wing Lamont suffered a medial ligament injury.
