Head coach Frank Hadden is delighted with the way his new backroom team have helped to prepare Scotland for their double-header against Argentina.

Edinburgh boss Andy Robinson and Glasgow coach Sean Lineen were given official assistant roles by the SRU following a disappointing RBS 6 Nations campaign, when Scotland narrowly avoided a second successive wooden spoon.

Former England chief Robinson and ex-Scotland international Lineen replaced Hadden's assistants Alan Tait and George Graham following an SRU review of the campaign.

And he has felt the benefit of their input over the past week.

Hadden said: "One of the things about international rugby is that preparation time is so short and it is about maximising that.

"I think we have got the sort of experience in the coaching team that we know exactly how to get the most out of this fortnight.

"Guys like Andy and Sean have tremendous experience. They add value in terms of one-to-ones with the players and just picking up little things here and there.

"So far the coaching team has gelled extremely well and meetings have been very productive."

Hadden has been delighted with the build-up to the two Tests, which take place in Rosario on June 7 and Buenos Aires the following Saturday.

"We have had a full week's training, which is something we never had at the start of the Six Nations," he told BBC Radio Scotland.

"So in many respects we are further down the road now than we were for about four or five weeks in the Six Nations.

"So I'm quite happy with the way things have gone and we are very confident going out to Argentina.

"They are a top quality side, we don't have a very good track record against them.

"We have never beaten them at junior level so the players are fully aware of how difficult is, but the preparation will stand us in good stead. We believe we can win the games."

Hadden maintained he was happy with the way the SRU review went after Scotland ended the Six Nations campaign with a solitary win over England.

"We had an excellent review, a very full and honest debrief of the way things went in the Six Nations," he said.

"There were all sorts of things we weren't happy about, but some of these were out of our control, like the injuries and the preparation time.

"But there were some parts where some of the young players made some progress.

"The most important thing is to get off to a good start. We didn't get off to a good start in the Six Nations.

"We are aware of how tough it is going to be, especially in the set-piece.

"We are playing on two narrow pitches, 65 metres wide, and the first is only 95 metres long, so that's a wee bit like Firhill, so that will have an impact.

"But the important thing is to start off positively and try to capitalise on the fact they haven't played for a while."
