"I don't like saying this, but I genuinely think it's a time for a change at the top end," Wright told the BBC's Scotland Rugby Podcast.

"Gregor's been here a long time and he's changed and he's made the team play some great, exciting rugby.

"But ultimately he's not had any real success in the Six Nations or the World Cups - out twice before the knockout stages, although we've had two really tough groups.

"It's one thing about changing the style and being exciting and good to watch, but ultimately we want to try and be competing at the top end.

"Are we delusional to think that we're actually good enough to compete at the top end? I would say with this group of players, we should be.

"I think Gregor's a really good coach, and I think the guys he's got round about him are good guys, but maybe it's just a new voice that's needed."
