'Scottish Rugby's blue-sky thinking fine, but execution everything'

Scottish Rugby is facing criticism after players learned their contracts wouldn't be renewed just before the World Cup, leaving many feeling their professional careers were abruptly ending. Captain Rachel Malcolm described the situation as 'unfair' and a 'distraction,' complicating her role. Veteran player Jade Konkel pointed out that the team reached the World Cup quarter-finals without any support from the Scottish Rugby Union (SRU). This situation highlights the challenges within the organization and raises questions about its management and support for players.
