Evans brothers can't wait to follow Scottish greats

The pair revealed they were inspired by the achievements of two other sets of Scottish rugby brothers.
"The legends that stand out are the Hastings brothers but even just the Lamonts recently," said Max. "We saw those two guys playing together at this level and thought let's join that club."
The centre, 25, earned his place in the side after a try-scoring performance as a replacement against Wales on Sunday but Thom has been recalled after being dropped from the 22 altogether by head coach Frank Hadden.
"I was disappointed to be left out last week," said 23-year-old wing Thom, who revealed he may have been forced to withdraw anyway after suffering food poisoning.
"Frank took me aside and explained his reasons for it. He wanted to pick what he thought was the right team to face Wales and I fully respected that decision.
"But I'm just really happy I got the nod this week."
Hadden is confident the brothers will make an impact and said: "Max and Thom will be a very important combination."
