Scots urged to keep title hopes alive
Scotland's Pierre Schoeman attempts to claim the ball during the Guinness Six Nations match at the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh, February 24, 2024

CAM REDPATH has challenged Scotland to win their last two Six Nations matches and give themselves a chance of championship glory for the first time in 25 years.

The Scots made it two victories out of three on Saturday as they defeated England 30-21 to claim the Calcutta Cup for a fourth year in succession — a feat they had not previously achieved since the 1890s.

Gregor Townsend’s side conclude their campaign with away matches against Italy and on-song tournament favourites Ireland next month and victories in both matches might be enough to secure them a first championship triumph since 1999, depending what happens in the next round of fixtures.
