Evans meanwhile, left Cardiff on crutches and wearing an immobilising boot to protect his injured ankle after he was replaced with just 15 minutes played at the Millennium Stadium.

And Scotland team doctor James Robson revealed Strokosch will not be rushing back while Evans’ fate will be known in the next couple of days.

"Recovery from an injury such as Alasdair’s takes typically between four to six weeks," said Robson.

"Max will be seen by the specialist ankle surgeon John McKinley at Spire Murrayfield Hospital today and we will await a further update later this week."

Robinson has already had to make do without fly-half Ruaridh Jackson, centre Joe Ansbro, back row Kelly Brown and prop Moray Low in the defeats to England and Wales while No.8 David Denton and prop Ed Kalman will also be monitored this week after complaining of foot and neck injuries respectively.
