Scotland National Rugby Union Team
The Scotland rugby team is one of the world's top rugby union sides. Across their illustrious history, they’ve claimed 14 outright Six Nations titles and have appeared at every edition of the Rugby World Cup. Their best finish is fourth, which they achieved in 1991.
There are currently four past and present Scotland rugby players who feature in the International Rugby Hall of Fame. Meanwhile, eight players have been inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame. This includes legendary names like Ian McGeechan and former British and Irish Lions captain Gavin Hastings.
Scotland at the Six Nations Championship
Scotland's Six Nations history dates back to the first Home Nations Championship in 1883. The original tournament was contested by England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. With the addition of France in 1910, the tournament became the Five Nations (France were then expelled in 1931 but rejoined once more in 1947). Then, when Italy joined in 2000, the tournament became known as the Six Nations.
Alongside Ireland and Wales, the Scotland rugby team has contested every Home, Five and Six Nations Championship. To date, the Scotland rugby team has recorded 14 outright titles and eight shared wins.
Added to this, the Scotland rugby squad has claimed three Grand Slams. They secured their first Grand Slam in 1925, their second in 1984 and their third in 1990. On top of this, Scotland's Six Nations record includes 10 Triple Crowns, half of which were secured during the original Home Nations (1883-1909, 1932-1939).
However, the Scotland rugby team are yet to win the tournament in the modern era of the Six Nations; Scotland secured all of their titles during the Home Nations and Five Nations Championship eras.
Scotland at the Rugby World Cup
Scotland's Rugby World Cup record extends back to 1987, when the inaugural tournament was held. Since then, the Scotland national rugby union team has competed at every Rugby World Cup.
Scotland's best Rugby World Cup result occurred in 1991, when the team finished fourth. After soaring to the top of their pool, the Scotland rugby squad defeated Western Samoa in the quarter-finals before falling to England at the semi-final stage. They then battled New Zealand in the third-place play-off. Although they delivered an excellent performance, they were no match for the All Blacks and the game ended 13-6.
Aside from 1991, Scotland's Rugby World Cup campaigns have been moderately successful. They achieved quarter-final finishes in 1987, 1995, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015. However, they exited during the pool stage in 2011, 2019 and 2023.
