Pountney broadside at Murrayfield ‘blazers’

SCOTTISH Rugby Union chief executive Bill Watson fired a parting shot at Budge Pountney, who retired acrimoniously from the international game yesterday.

The Northampton flanker quit as captain and turned his back on Scottish rugby with a Roy Keane-style attack on the Murrayfield "blazers".

Pountney claims he has become increasingly disillusioned with the "unprofessionalism" of the set-up throughout his career.
