RugbyU: Cotter satisfied with Scotland progress New Zealander coach Vern Cotter believes his Scotland side are heading in the right direction despite losing their Six Nations opener 15-8 to France. Cotter, whose side had won five of their first seven games under his stewardship before this reverse, insisted the fact his side were disappointed in running France so close in Paris was a good sign. "It's obvious to me when they were coming off they were very frustrated and disappointed. It's probably a good emotion to have moving forward because obviously we want to do better than the final score," he said. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
