Six Nations LIVE: England accused of 'charlatan' behaviour as freak accident injures star


Scotland boss Gregor Townsend has pledged that results and performances will improve, despite the team bidding for their best finish in the Six Nations era.

Townsend’s side are second in the standings after wins over Wales and England, drawing to France, but believes that they are yet to hit top form.

“Happy-ish,” Townsend reflected on the tournament. “You’ve obviously got to be delighted for the team to beat England and retain the Calcutta Cup. But in terms of performance, we’re a little bit away from what we know we can deliver. The first 45 minutes against Wales is probably still the best we’ve played.

“We had elements of control throughout much of the France game and for the last 60 minutes of the England game. But there’s still a lot more to come from us.

“We’re delighted with how the guys trained yesterday, a real physical session. The non-23 trained really well and really tested us. So the guys are in a good position to deliver their best performances over the next two weeks. That’s all we’re working towards.”
