Rugby: Logan delighted with win in Ireland

Former Scotland wing Logan believes Saturday's result vindicated the adventurous brand of rugby being played under head coach Andy Robinson, which ultimately secured only one win in this season's championship.

Logan, who won 70 caps for his country, insists Scotland were also the better team against Wales, Italy and England and should have won at least three of their five matches.

"I actually said last week I thought we could beat Ireland because I think we're a good team," Logan said, following the launch of the paperback version of his autobiography, Just for Kicks. "Andy believes in every player – we didn't have that before – and believes in the system he's playing. It's the best we've played for years, absolute years. The last time Scotland played like that was '99, when we won the Five Nations. We played by taking the game to teams and not being scared."

Logan, who turns 38 next week, added: "Andy's brought a sparkle back into the fans' eyes, a real belief that we can win games.

"We could have been sitting here today having finished second or third.

"All these games, we've actually deserved to win. In previous years, we never looked like winning."

Just For Kicks documents Logan's rugby career as well as his battle with dyslexia and his turn on Strictly Come Dancing.
