The Six Nations - Scotland

Scotland have never won the Six Nations. 26 seasons of unpredictability and occasional, unquestionable brilliance along the way, but their last tournament victory - a memorable, unforgettable one at that - lies all the way back in 1999 in the final edition of the old Five Nations Championship.

There have been forgettable seasons along the way, for sure. Four wooden spoons and some heavy defeats too, but in recent seasons Scotland have emerged under Gregor Townsend as a genuine force in world rugby - but one that doesn't quite seem to be able to string together the consistency required to genuinely challenge for the Six Nations title.

As it stands in 2026 they sit second in the table, having comfortably ended England's 12-game winning streak at Murrayfield having lost to Italy in their opener, and followed that up by only narrowly seeing off Wales. Unpredictable, frustrating but evidently capable of upstaging anyone.

Today, we look back at the glory days of Scottish Rugby in our lifetime - 1990 and 1999, where England were the fall guys as Scotland rose to the pinnacle of Northern Hemisphere rugby union, and discuss when and how they could ever see their like again.
