Scots will score more tries - Jones

Scotland wing Lee Jones believes Scotland have the ability convert their try-scoring chances when they host France in Sunday’s Six Nations clash at Murrayfield.

Scotland have lost both their matches in the tournament so far and have only managed to score a single try.

In their opener against England at Murrayfield they went down 13-6 after failing to cross the tryline and Greg Laidlaw scored their first try in five Tests in their 27-13 loss to Wales in Cardiff.

But Jones is positive they will score more tries against les Bleus.

“What I have experienced in the last two games, there is not as much space out there and defences are a lot stronger,” he told PA Sport.

“It’s more difficult to break down but we have created a number of chances.

“We just need to convert the chances. We have had the possession and the territory, we just need to cross the line.

“If we can fix up those small things, we will definitely compete with the best.”
