Morgan wants ruthless streak from next Scotland boss

Former Scotland coach Dougie Morgan has called for the next incumbent to the hot seat to be more "hard nosed and ruthless" as the search to replace Frank Hadden intensifies. Read his thoughts in The Scotsman.

"What Scotland need is someone who is a bit more hard-nosed and ruthless because we have just been kind of drifting through the last few years," said Morgan, 62.

"Frank spoke about development and having a young team. But players can only be young for so long and development means something happening. Nothing did happen. Selection was wrong at the start of this Six Nations and had an effect on Mike Blair who suffered through having too much onus on him as captain and scrum half.

"The back-line didn't go too well either as there is still a need for more of a cutting edge in terms of try-scoring. As for the forwards, it especially comes down to attitude and there are big boys there who should be able to do more."
