News Summary:
On February 5, 2026, Halo became the official Enterprise Software Partner of Scottish Rugby, securing visibility on the national team’s shorts from the start of the 2026 Guinness Men’s Six Nations and prominent placement at Scottish Gas Murrayfield. Previously, on January 23, 2026, the Inter-District Youth Pathway Programme returned, commencing with the Boys U17 program at Oriam to reinforce the organization's commitment to identifying and developing young talent with greater alignment and clear progression. Earlier, on January 19, 2026, Gregor Townsend prepared to name his Scotland squad for the Six Nations championship, following questions about his coaching suitability after a dismal autumn campaign, despite receiving a new contract in September. This followed Scottish Rugby's decision on December 17, 2025, to appoint Australian coach Sione Fukofuka to lead the Scotland Women’s national team. Fukofuka, formerly head coach of the United States women’s side, succeeded Bryan Easson, who spent almost five years in charge and guided Scotland to a Women’s Rugby World Cup quarter-final earlier that year. On December 9, 2025, the organization adopted a new approach to male pathway player development, aiming to accelerate talent into the professional game and the senior Scotland squad, as outlined by Rugby Head of Performance Pathways Al Kellock.
