    About our Scotland Rugby Union news

    Latest news on Scotland Rugby Union, covering Men's and Women's teams, Six Nations, World Cup, domestic clubs, fixtures, results and player updates.

    Scotland's men's rugby team maintains a competitive presence in international rugby, currently positioned 7th in the World Rugby rankings. Under long-serving head coach Gregor Townsend, and with leadership from figures like Finn Russell and Rory Darge, the Scots continue to display their attacking brand of rugby that can challenge any opponent. Their 2025 Six Nations campaign illustrated both their capabilities and areas for growth, finishing fourth in the table with impressive victories over Italy and Wales, while showing resilience in narrow contests against top-ranked sides.

    Scottish Rugby oversees two professional club sides – Edinburgh Rugby and Glasgow Warriors – who compete in the United Rugby Championship and European competitions. These teams serve as crucial development platforms for homegrown talent, with their performances in domestic and continental competitions strengthening Scotland's player depth. The women's programme continues to develop with increased investment, as they work to improve their standing in the Women's Six Nations and qualify for major tournaments.

    Rugby holds a special place in Scottish sporting culture, particularly in the Borders region where the game's roots run deepest. The roar of the Murrayfield crowd during the singing of 'Flower of Scotland' creates one of rugby's most atmospheric moments, with the 67,144-capacity stadium regularly packed for international fixtures. Community clubs across the country from Aberdeen to the Borders maintain strong grassroots participation, nurturing the next generation of Scottish talent.

    Scotland's rugby heritage stretches back to the 19th century as founding members of the Home Nations Championship, with Grand Slam triumphs in 1925, 1984, and 1990 marking high points in their storied history. The national team has experienced a revival in recent years, becoming genuine contenders once again with landmark victories at home and abroad. Blair Kinghorn has emerged as a standout performer, earning Player of the Match honors against Wales in the 2025 Six Nations, while Darcy Graham, Huw Jones, and Duhan van der Merwe continue to rank among the northern hemisphere's most dangerous attacking threats.

    Stay connected to all the latest developments in Scottish rugby through our comprehensive NewsNow feed, delivering timely updates on team selections, match reports, player interviews and expert analysis. Whether you're following the fortunes of the men's team in international competitions, tracking the women's growing programme, or keeping tabs on Edinburgh and Glasgow in club competition, our dedicated Scotland Rugby Union feed ensures you never miss a key moment as Scottish rugby continues to build on its rich tradition and ambitious future.
