It is our belief that the time has come for Frank Hadden to vacate the position of Head Coach of the Scottish Rugby Team.

Appointed to the post on a permanent basis on the 15th September 2005, Frank Hadden made a good start by instilling belief and confidence in a jaded National team left devoid of hope by a certain Mr Williams. A record of won three, lost two from the 2006 Six Nations Championship was a false dawn and from there it became increasingly apparent that Mr Hadden was not up to the demands of the senior game on the international stage. The following year a dismal Six Nations yielded nothing but the wooden spoon, and 2008 wasn't much better either.

Are we to be content with a national team that perennially struggles against Italy? Should we expect more than the occasional win against England? The second win in Argentina helped keep the wolf from Hadden's door but we deserve more than the scraps from the top table of international rugby and so do the players. Poor selections, excuses that beggar belief and a lack of ambition have all played a part in this sorry tale, but ultimately it's Frank's lack of ability that concerns us most and is the true underlying reason why he can not continue as coach of the Scottish Rugby Team.

Hadden must go.

    • With a team of so much potential to be fighting over the wooden spoon is no longer good enough. A coach who has had experience with a national set-up is urgently required rather than sticking with one who was seen as a stop gap after the matt william fiasco. A coach of this calibre should be able to come in and revolutionise how our elite players train and play which will then have the knock on effect of improving our pro teams.

    • Regretably I cannot see us moving forward with the current coaching set up in place. Someone else can do better. Robinson, Lineen etc, given them a chance.

    • Frank has made improvements increase in confidence etc and is a good coach but i think he has ran out of ideas, The team has not improved over the last year to a great deal and when supporters can tell when Frank will make changes almost to the exact minute and who will be replacing players surely the oponents coaches can. Time for a change and a new approach
