PATERSON COLLECTS WORLD CUP AWARD
Chris Paterson has been voted Scotland's best player of the World Cup by team
sponsors The Famous Grouse.
Paterson was an ever-present in the Scots' campaign which ended in gallant
defeat to Australia in the quarter-finals.
He was used in three different positions by coach Ian McGeechan - left wing,
right wing and stand-off - and contributed 71 points to the Scottish cause.
Paterson said: "I'm delighted. The World Cup was obviously a huge event and
to play five back-to-back internationals on successive weekends was a major
test.
" While I would have obviously preferred to still be in Australia at this
stage, it was an achievement to reach the quarter-finals and this award reflects
that."
