How would you like 20-stone of Jim Hamilton on your ankle?

Scotland’s Chris Paterson will miss tonight’s game for club side Edinburgh against Ulster after team-mate Jim Hamilton accidentally sat on his ankle during a training session. The 6ft 8in, 20 stone Hamilton (pictured above) planted his sizeable backside on Paterson’s leg as he fell over.

“He got injured on Tuesday - in the last play of training Jim Hamilton sat on him,” Edinburgh coach Andy Robinson said. “He sat on Paterson’s ankle and bruised it. They were on the same team at the time too. It is just one of those injuries that you get. He picked up the ball, fell over and landed on him. It happens, you pick these injuries up. All sides get them, though we seem to have our fair share at the moment.”
