Scotland Rugby has announced Women’s Head Coach Bryan Easson will step down from his role after the upcoming Rugby World Cup in England.
Easson has spent over 25 years working across a multitude of roles within the SRU, and was appointed head coach back in December 2020.
Easson said: “It has been the greatest honour of my coaching career to lead the Scotland Women’s national team through one of the most significant and inspiring periods in its history.

“During my time as Head Coach, this team has grown immensely, rising from 11th in the world to an all-time high of fifth, and now proudly ranked seventh.
“We’ve experienced unforgettable highs: qualifying for two Rugby World Cups, winning WXV2, and competing with the best in the world. These moments are etched in our collective memory.
“We’ve also faced real challenges, tough results, setbacks, and times when belief was tested.
“None of it, the resilience, the progress, or the success would have been possible without an exceptional group of players and colleagues who showed remarkable strength, unity and character throughout the journey.”
Scottish Rugby said the search for a replacement would begin soon.
Scottish Rugby chief executive Alex Williamson said: “Bryan will take the [[Scotland]] squad to the World Cup in August as a fitting swansong to his many achievements as the coach of the national team.
“On behalf of everyone at Scottish Rugby we wish him success in England and also thank him for everything he has contributed to our sport over 25 years.”
Scotland’s first World Cup match is against Wales on Saturday 23rd August.
