Gregor Townsend said on Tuesday the forthcoming Six Nations could be his last as Scotland coach, as he revealed he has not held talks over a contract extension.

Townsend’s Scotland contract ends later this year and it has been widely speculated he will leave after the World Cup in France in September and October.

“I’m not contracted beyond this year so of course (it could be a last Six Nations as Scotland coach),” the 49-year-old said.
