Six Nations 2025: Gregor Townsend should remain as Scotland coach – Grant Gilchrist
Grant Gilchrist supports Gregor Townsend to continue as Scotland head coach, although the national team once again did not compete in the meaningful Six Nations Challenge Challenge.
Beating by France in Paris, limiting the Scots to fourth place, the sixth time in Townsend’s eight-year spell ended in the lower half of the table.
It was an incredible reward for a group of people who thought it was the most powerful player in Scotland’s history, but Gilchrist was convinced that Townsend would lead to success.
“Eight years later, you can take the changes that happened during that time for granted,” Edinburgh Locke said.
“I think you’re going to be a victim of your own success because we set the standards very high.
“For a long time we’ve played some rugby that we haven’t seen in Scottish jerseys and when we don’t perform, now in this team it stands out like a sore thumb.
“Gregor and the coaching team, they got the answer. For me, this ability to stabilize and build and get better year-on-year has to be the answer.
