The team's latest setbacks, including a heartbreaking defeat to Argentina, have raised questions about Townsend's future as head coach. Townsend was given a contract extension until the 2027 Rugby World Cup, but Scotland's recent performances have left fans and critics alike wondering if he's the right person for the job. The team's loss to Argentina was particularly damaging, as they blew a 21-point lead in the final quarter. Despite this, Townsend remains confident in his abilities and the team's potential. In a press conference, he stated that he's been encouraged by the team's resilience and ability to come together after a difficult loss. He also rejected suggestions that Scotland is mentally fragile, saying that they often feel like they've had opportunities to win, but ultimately come up short. Townsend acknowledged that Scotland's inability to turn promising performances into wins is a concern, but he's confident that with a few adjustments, the team will start to see more victories. He urged the team to focus on the present and not get distracted by external criticism. As Scotland looks to bounce back from their recent losses, Townsend's leadership will be under the spotlight. Will he be able to turn things around, or will the pressure become too much to bear?"
