If he makes a success of leading Scotland then his­ nationaiity will be forgotten, he has made a decent job­ of Edinburgh and I would love to see some of the talent­ that some of the players have emerging through the six­ nations and beyond!

I think a little perspective is needed here. Robinson­ has proven himself to be a good coach and has a solid­ knowledge and understanding of both current and up and­ coming players. To critisise him for Englands' woes­ is unfair, the team had lost morale and the set up­ behind the scenes was hardly helping. As for Scottish­ rugby we are seriously under-funded which hampers our­ countrys ability to fund and run professional teams. We­ can't afford to pay the players and to ensure they­ continue to develop they go further afield. You have to­ remember as well that these young lads have a limited­ amount of time to earn good money - are you telling me­ that you wouldn't move to a better company for a­ pay rise? I think what does need to be done is some­ sort of tracking system for young Scottish players so­ when they do move out of Scotland for opportunities the­ Scottish coaches and selectors are aware of them and­ their current form. It seems even England is to far at­ present to keep track of them - how many players are­ being missed as they stray past Scotlands Borders to­ improve their game and in turn chances playing for­ their country? The 7's is a prime example - if your­ not in the academy or part of the Scotland, Edinburgh­ or Glasgow set up you are not even considered,­ therefore some of the best 7's players we have are­ being overlooked. In short we have talent, we need to­ keep track of it, support rugby and increase funding­ and most importantly support the coach at the helm, not­ critisise every step. P.S to all those demanding a­ Scottish coach to ensure success - what nationality was­ the Welsh national team coach last year when they won­ the 6 nations??? Didn't hamper them did it!

Its already been mentioned but Robinsons main problem­ with England was the set up he was lumbered with (which­ is why Woodward resigned). Given the right set up­ Robinson could prove how good a coach he is.
Scotlands­ problem is not in the coach but in the organisation at­ all levels which means that the best players leave­ Scotland to play their club rugby elsewhere.

bad mistake. Think back england where not a bad team­ until robo took over, ok the pensioners retired but­ there was still talent in the team, look at how and how­ fast they fell from grace now scotland seem to be going­ down the same road . haden had turned scotland around­ but stayed too long so they went stale jones or white­ given some free reign could have taken scotland till­ the next level up not DOWNas I feal robo will

He didn't win it ..........that the problem with us­ jocks we think being second best is ok.I am fed up with­ this attitude and hope young ones are more prepared to­ work hard and get stuck in we need aggression and boys­ who can show it.

Robinson is plenty good enough for Scotland.

You­ can't expect Pele to manage the Dog & Duck!

A lot of you can not see beyond your prejudices and see­ what a good job he has done with Edingburgh this year.­ Good luck to him!

Oh dear Scotland. Why him?? Just dosent feel right does­ it?

Robbo's rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrubbish!

I'm very proud to be Scottish.... I now live in NZ­ and I hve to be honest (not snobbish, most ANZ teams­ would take the piss out of most Scottish teams),­ Scottish rugby leaves a lot to be desired. I've­ seen some of the best in the world coming through in­ Scotland but with a fagball attitude we'll never­ compete with the all in, all die attitude that the­ southern hemisphere provides.

Forget the­ English/Scottish bigotry.... Your penis is smaller than­ your mentality and considerably smaller than your­ ability. Get a grip.... An Englishman is probably a­ good thing for Scotland... The best thing I've­ seen for England in my life timeis a Safee in the name­ of Mike Catt... An all round and confident player... ­

As a Scotsman.. Mike Phillips for #9 in any team in­ any country.... Celtic passion or just good sense?

so tigger if he does not win any autumn tests that mean­ hes oot?

I wish Andy all the luck in his new position, he is a­ fantastic coach, Scotland are lucky to have him, he is­ a proud and loyal man, i hope people will give him the­ chance he deserves, he works extremely hard and with­ great dedication,congratulations Robbo and Scotland-­ great choice

I think he will be good for Scotland. Remember why he­ was so poor at coaching England, It was because he­ wasn't allowed to pick his own coaching team and­ had his hands tied. If the SRU allow him to act on his­ own then he should get good results

Neil M should not be such a big mouth agreed we have­ ben poor for last few years but with our small player­ base we do well and will be back to speed soon! Maybe­ Robinson got sacked because of the overpaid and lazy­ England players with the players and resource they have­ they should be almost unbeatable! Gary Scotland

Looks like Murrayfield going to be well known for rock­ concerts than rugby now.
