Thom Evans in 7s action

Thom Evans will play 7s in Dubai
Former Glasgow and Scotland winger Thom Evans is preparing to play in a Sevens tournament in Dubai next week.

The event, which coincides with the Dubai leg of the Sevens World Series, will see Thom turn out in the International Open for the UR7s side.

Thom hasn't played since being seriously injured playing for Scotland against Wales in the 2010 Six Nations.

Thom was forced to retire, but according to newspaper reports, the 30-year-old has been working with sprint coach Margot Wells.

Thom told the Daily Mail: "I'm honoured to be able to get the opportunity to play, and this tournament is to see how I hold up being back on the pitch.

"Only after the tournament will I have an idea about my rugby future.

"I played in the Rugby Aid match (at Twickenham Stoop in September) and my body felt strong and that is what got me interested in the Sevens competition.

"I have no ambitions or anything other than just to play in this tournament in Dubai and see how my body holds up.

"The idea just now is to play Sevens. The body feels really good. I will see how it is. I have been working really hard with Margot (Wells) and strengthening everything up."
