Evans wants same again from Scotland

Max Evans insists Scotland have a duty to take the intensity and commitment they showed in their Calcutta Cup draw with England into Saturday's final RBS 6 Nations game in Ireland.

Almost every one of Evans' team-mates upped their game from the miserable defeat to Italy two weeks ago in Saturday's 15-15 deadlock at Murrayfield.

"We can't just raise that level just to play England," he said. "That's something now we've got to take into the Ireland game and come away with the win."

Evans impressed on the wing having never previously started in the position at Test level.

He also enjoyed the experience, especially with it being his first Calcutta Cup match at Murrayfield.

Describing the noise made by Scotland's supporters as "insane", Evans added: "As a player, you're almost wanting the crowd just to be quiet that little bit because you can't hear anything, especially being out on the wing.

"It was just unbelievably loud.

"The anthem at the start and the anthem during the game - I think there was a moment where it was going off and it was just unbelievable, a really special experience."
