Info Box

The info box makes it look like he coached Scotland continuously from 1980-1999. I wonder if this should be modified to make it clear that this was not the case. Dunarc (talk) 23:31, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Richie Dixon was Scotland's Head Coach between 1995 and 1998. Telfer was the SRU Director of Rugby. Telfer fired Dixon in 1998 as Head Coach and resumed the role himself from 1998-99. Although the article does state Telfer's latter period, the following list of matches state 1993-99. It should be clearer that Telfer's reign was 1993-95 and 1998-99.Aedis1 (talk)

Thanks - this fits in with my recollection and the info box is now much clearer on this. Dunarc (talk) 13:39, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
