Williamson, who was appointed in September 2024 with a mission to address significant financial losses, has taken time out and his duties have been taken up by other members within the organisation.

A spokesman for Scottish Rugby said: “Our chief executive Alex Williamson is currently on a period of extended leave, during which time his duties are being shared by the executive team.”

Williamson’s absence comes at a time when the organisation is attempting to build on the success of the men’s national team, which finished third in this year’s Six Nations Championship with victories over England, Wales and France.
