Scottish Rugby 'have to grow and invest' with women's game

Fraser Brown has urged Scottish Rugby to continue to invest in women's rugby.

Former international Brown has joined Bryan Easson's Scotland Women coaching team and is helping the squad prepare for two autumn Tests against Wales and Fiji in Edinburgh next month before they look to defend their WXV2 title.

"You need to win, whether you like it or not," Brown said.

"When you win in sport it generates momentum, public interest and participation, particularly in younger groups. We need to keep growing as individuals, coaches and especially players.

"There's a short-term goal, which is the next five games, but then the World Cup is months out. There's still a lot of improvement in the squad and that's what we’ve been pushing every day.

"You can't put a ceiling on your own performance, you can't get comfortable, you have to keep learning and growing. As a union as well, we have to grow and invest. It's not easy. If we win and play well it helps that momentum."
