Scotland were far from the only team to return from last year’s Rugby World Cup with an overwhelming sense of frustration; and they were undoubtedly unfortunate to find themselves in a pool with South Africa and Ireland.
There can be no complaints about unfavourable draws in the Six Nations, though, so the next several weeks will be another important marker of progress being made under Gregor Townsend – plus a test of the leadership skills of their new captain, the fly-half Finn Russell, who is thoroughly enjoying club rugby at his new home in Bath.
