Finding a way to win away. It was a conundrum that ensured Gregor Townsend did not get carried away last Saturday by Scotland’s first victory over England in 10 years. The head coach was already thinking about their next match against Ireland in Dublin and how to end years of failure on the road in the tournament.
Scotland’s last away victory to one of their old Five Nations rivals was in Dublin in 2010. For many Six Nations campaigns they were little better at Murrayfield, but in the last two years they have defeated Ireland, Wales, France and now England in front of their own supporters.
A few pages have been turned but Townsend is now on a new chapter. For all the elation at Murrayfield last weekend, it was only a few weeks ago that he was reflecting on a day in Cardiff that had promised so much and delivered so little.
