After washout in Rome, Jones is determined to help make amends against the Auld Enemy

- BY ANTHONY BROWN

HUW JONES is determined to help Scotland's much-vaunted backline ignite against England after being stifled by Italy in their frustrating Six Nations opener last weekend.

The Scots were unable to get their free-flowing attacking game going as torrential rainfall turned their showdown in Rome's Stadio Olimpico into an attritional battle.

Scotland went down to a dismal 18-15 defeat, cranking up the heat on head coach Gregor Townsend and his players ahead of Saturday's visit from inform England.

“England are a brilliant team so it’s a tough prospect,” said Glasgow Warriors centre Jones. “But this is probably the perfect game and opposition for us. You don't need any more motivation, especially after a loss when everyone's hurting.
