Three Six Nations bosses under pressure – and who could replace them

#3. Gregor Townsend – Scotland

“We’re disappointed,” said Townsend, reflecting on the campaign overall. “We look at the fundamentals of our performances and our performances weren’t good enough, particularly in the Wales game.

“That the was the most disappointing aspect, that we had an opportunity going down to Wales but we weren’t accurate enough. Following that, we had some very good moments against France but they were the better team on the day.

“Likewise against Ireland. Italy was a good bounce-back but we just couldn’t get the wins either side of it.”

Social Reaction:

Gregor Townsend has to go. This 6 Nations has been appalling and today abysmal

Eddie Jones must go, Gregor Townsend must go, Wayne Pivac must go… and Shaun Edwards must be cloned

@Scotlandteam have you sacked @gregortownsend yet. He is tactically incompetent. Tactics poor. Team selection poor. These players deserve better.
