Scottish rugby coach resigns

6:35 am on 26 November 2012

Scotland's rugby coach Andy Robinson has resigned following his side's loss to Tonga yesterday.

Englishman Robinson who was first appointed in 2009, had his contract extended until after the 2015 World Cup, but the 21-15 upset loss to the Tongans in Aberdeen yesterday was the Scots' 10th loss in their last 13 matches, including elimination from the last World Cup at the group phase for the first time.
