Gregor Townsend hailed rampant Scotland for hauling themselves from the wreckage of Rome right into the thick of a Guinness Six Nations title shootout. The result leaves the Scots behind the table-topping French only on points difference and two points ahead of the Irish. “I think we probably wouldn’t have thought we’d be in this position after the first match,” admitted head coach Townsend. It’s not all in our hands because France will play after us. “We are disappointed,” said head coach Galthie.
