Hadden pays price for Scots’ Six Nations flop

SCOTLAND head coach Frank Hadden stepped down yesterday with immediate effect after a frustrating Six Nations campaign ended with just one victory.

The decision was taken after a meeting today of the Scottish Rugby Board.

Scottish Rugby chief executive, Gordon McKie, said: “Following a presentation at today’s Scottish Rugby Board, covering a review of the Scotland performance in the RBS 6 Nations Championship, it was agreed with Frank Hadden that a change in head coach is required to allow us to plan fully for the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
