Finn Russell hopes Scotland can turn the pain of a Rugby World Cup defeat by South Africa to their advantage when they face England in the Six Nations on Saturday.

The Springboks defeated Scotland 18-3 in a pool match in France in September on their way to being crowned world champions.

They are still getting used to Jones’s aggressive methods but Scotland co-captain Russell reckons his side will know what to expect based on their South Africa experience. Scotland, for all their back-line talent, have often appeared less than the sum of their parts and they remain without a Championship title since the 1999 Five Nations.
