Scotland have lost 14 of their 17 Tests under the Australians charge and their unhappy RBS 6 Nations campaign ended with a 43-22 defeat to England at Twickenham on Saturday.

Scotlands performance in the tournament is currently being reviewed by the SRU, but some reports claimed a decision has already been made to end Williams tenure before the autumn Tests.

The SRU said in a statement: We are not going to comment on media speculation. That is all this is.

There is a standard process at the end of every tournament and that process is ongoing.

Until that process is completed we will not be fuelling media speculation.

There was a meeting between the coach and director of rugby but that is a regular occurrence.

And Williams told The Scotsman: We are totally committed to the next World Cup and the wealth of negative, inaccurate comment has made the positives of the tournament impossible for people.
