Scotland recruit Radford as coach

Defence coach Lee Radford will continue with Northampton Saints until the end of the season

The Englishman will take on the role vacated by Tandy, who spent more than five years on Townsend's backroom staff before leaving in July to become Wales’ head coach.

Radford will combine his new position with Scotland with his role as Northampton’s defence coach until the end of this season before going full-time with the national team on a contract until the end of the 2027-28 campaign.
