Scotland assistant coach departs SRU

Former Scotland assistant coach George Graham has left the SRU.

Graham lost his role as forwards coach last month after a review of the coaching structure that came in the wake of Scotland’s disappointing RBS 6 Nations campaign.

Glasgow coach Sean Lineen and Edinburgh boss Andy Robinson were instead drafted in to assist Frank Hadden during Scotland’s summer tour of Argentina.

The SRU offered former Scotland prop Graham alternative coaching roles but he has rejected them.

An SRU statement read: “Scottish Rugby thanks him for his contribution with the national team over the past three years and wishes him well.”
