Andy Robinson has resigned as Scotland rugby coach following Saturday's shock 21-15 loss to Tonga at Pittodrie.

Tonga loss unacceptable

Scotland beat Australia 9-6 away in June and went on to defeat Fiji and Samoa but Robinson described Saturday's display against Tonga as "totally unacceptable". The 48-year-old, who was a flanker for Bath, England and the Lions in his playing days, previously took over from Clive Woodward as England coach in 2004. However, he left in 2006 after only winning nine of 22 matches, before catching Scotland's eye after a successful spell in charge of Edinburgh.
