Max Evans is battling to prove his fitness for Scotland's meeting with France at Murrayfield on Sunday after being unable to take part in yesterday's training session with the national squad because of the ankle problem that forced his early departure against Wales in Cardiff last week.
With Al Strokosch having been ruled out of the rest of the championship with a broken hand also suffered in Cardiff, the only other member of the starting line-up for that match who was unable to train yesterday was Jim Hamilton, who has a throat infection.
