Paterson on the mend

Published 23 Feb 2010 15:20 0 Comments

SCOTLAND star Chris Paterson returned home from Cardiff at the weekend as medics are satisfied that he has recovered sufficiently from the kidney damage he sustained in Scotland's RBS 6 Nations Championship match against Wales last week.

Scotland coach Andy Robinson who visited him in Cardiff said: "It was uplifting to speak to (Chris) and hear first-hand that he is feeling better. Once again, on behalf of the Scotland team, I want to thank our own medical team, the Welsh Rugby Union medical personnel at the Millennium Stadium and all the staff at the University Hospital in Cardiff for the quite magnificent care they have delivered."

Scotland team doctor James Robson said: "Mossy (Chris Paterson) was discharged from hospital in Cardiff on Tuesday night. He has rested for a couple of days further in Cardiff and is now well enough to travel home with his wife Claire, which is excellent news."
