Fagerson feels frustration of Scottish fans

Italy's Edoardo Padovani tackled by Matt Fagerson of Scotland in last weekend's Six Nations Championship 

Matt Fagerson admits that this will be remembered as a disappointing Six Nations for Scotland regardless of what happens in Saturday’s final match of the campaign against Ireland in Dublin but he remains confident things are moving in the right direction under Gregor Townsend as the 2023 World Cup looms over the horizon.

With Townsend claiming he had more strength in depth at his disposal than any Scottish coach of the professional era, his team and its fans started the championship with high hopes of being credible contenders for the title, and the campaign got off to a flyer with that opening weekend victory over England at Murrayfield.
