Gregor Townsend: Scottish Rugby 'still has confidence' in head coach

Scottish Rugby is confident Gregor Townsend can improve the national team's Six Nations performances but this year's campaign was "not good enough", says chairman John McGuigan.

Scotland finished fourth in the 2024 competition with two wins - against England and Wales - from five games.

 

Townsend, who has been head coach for seven years, is contracted until 2026.

"We've kicked around third and fourth place in the Six Nations," McGuigan said.

"And from that point of view we need to elevate our position from there.

"We still have confidence in Gregor that he can do it, that he's got the right coaching staff, he's got the right team in place and we need to go with it just now. That's what we believe to be the right thing to do."
