His chances of playing in the next match will be based on cognitive therapy tests this week.br /br /Monye was taken for a precautionary x-ray and scan, but the results showed that no significant damage took place, so he was discharged to the care of the England medical team.br /br /"If appropriate, a further injury update will be made when the England squad reconvenes on Monday," said the Rugby Football Union.br /br /Scotland’s Evans, who following his injury against Wales has had to have double spinal surgery, summoned the strength to give a pre-match talk to the players on Saturday.br /br /Evans’ future in the game is still unknown at this stage, but the fact that the 24 year old was walking is a miracle in itself. According to his brother Max, he came within a millimeter of paralysis or death.br /br /Dan Parks has recounted how moving it was to have Evan’s talk to the side.br /br /"It was a really touching moment. He's a great guy, Thommy, and I'm going to miss playing with him," said Parks, who will be joining Cardiff.br /br /"It was a great occasion, very emotional, and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. It was great to see him and great to see him up and about, walking around."br /br /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gx_2aNfgwwsamp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gx_2aNfgwwsamp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerbr /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time: /span02:06/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-6288441021881272084?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=ED3Y4-hoFVA:NPjl7QPeckE:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/ED3Y4-hoFVA" height="1" width="1"/ More...
