Vern Cotter: 'Scotland developing well despite another Six Nations defeat'

Head coach Vern Cotter insists that Scotland are improving following their 25-13 defeat to England in the Six Nations.

Scotland head coach Vern Cotter has said that Scotland can take positives from their 25-13 Six Nations loss to England on Saturday.

Cotter's team were leading 13-10 at half time, but England stepped up their game in the second half to secure a Calcutta Cup victory.

"The boys played for each other," Cotter told BBC Sport "It was a tough, tough game. We played a very good English side. I thought we attacked well, defended well and scrambled well.

"If we can keep developing on those good things and tidy up on a few things to become competitive for 80 minutes, that is something we'll be looking at.

"We got a try scored against us early and I think everybody thought it was going to be a walkover. Once the players got their hands on the ball we started making ground. In and around rucks Greig [Laidlaw] was darting, we had forwards running off with pace, the ball going forward, so it was nice to see, it should give the guys confidence."

Scotland will be condemned to the wooden spoon should they lose against Ireland next weekend.
