Scott Johnson pleased with Scotland progress

Scotland interim coach Scott Johnson reveals that he is pleased with the team's progress ahead of his last game in charge this weekend.

Scotland interim coach Scott Johnson has revealed that he is pleased with the team's progress ahead of his last game in charge against Wales in the Six Nations.

The Australian started coaching the Scots at the end of 2012, but his role will change to director of rugby following Saturday's match in Cardiff.

Johnson believes that he has helped the team to improve during his brief tenure as coach.

"It's not about me. I did it for what I feel is the right fit for Scotland and I'll take up a different role and I'll enjoy that - but I'm really proud to say I've been a part of it," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"I think the last couple of weeks have been encouraging. I go back to the first weekend against Ireland, I thought we were the dominant side then, I think we played terrific rugby."

Clermont Auvergne coach Vern Cotter will take over from Johnson when he leaves the role.
