Same old story as losing streak continues

After all that has happened in Scottish rugby in recent weeks, the use of the word "progress" in the headline of a press release relating to one of our national teams may briefly have offered hope to those less used to how international sevens tournaments worked.

It was an exceedingly odd word to use in describing the Scotland team's latest efforts. For "Scotland 7s Progress In Dubai Bowl Competition" read: Scotland lost all three of their pool matches and are consigned to their regular place in the consolation event.
