Vern Cotter clearly enjoys being back in Scotland, where he had three happy years as national team head coach between the summers of 2014 and 2017, but the New Zealander – who now coaches the Fijian side who will play at Murrayfield on Saturday – distances himself from any suggestion that he might want to return to his old role.
