Evans and Paterson taken to hospital

Scotland winger Thom Evans was being treated in hospital on Saturday night after suffering a serious injury in his side's RBS 6 Nations match against Wales.

Evans was stretchered off with an apparent back injury just before half-time and the game was held up for several minutes while he was being attended to.

Full-back Chris Paterson had also been injured in the first half of his 100th appearance - he is the first Scot to reach the milestone - and was also in hospital being checked over for an abdominal problem.

"Thom's parents are with him," said Scotland head coach Andy Robinson.

"I can't say any more and we've just got to wait and see. Part of it is that it takes time to settle, but our thoughts are with him."

Wales went on to win the game 31-24.
