Fresh injury fear for Ospreys lock Ian Evans

Osprey Ian Evans has been capped 16 times by Wales at lock

Ospreys lock Ian Evans' leg injury will be examined by the regional and Welsh Rugby Union medics on Monday.

Evans, 25, received lengthy treatment on the field in their 22-10 loss in Munster and played on until replaced by Ian Gough in the 33rd minute.

It was the latest in a series injuries to strike the lock who won the first of 16 caps in 2006 in Argentina.

Evans returned from a chest injury in January, having previously recovered from cruciate knee ligament damage.

He suffered that latter injury in Wales' autumn 2008 defeat by New Zealand and suffered the chest injury - tearing a major tendon in his chest - playing for Swansea against Pontypridd in October, 2009.
