Scotland fly-half Finn Russell has said that his team will learn from their poor Six Nations campaign ahead of the Rugby World Cup later this year.
Scotland came bottom of the Six Nations table as they lost all five of their games, but Russell believes that there are still positives they can take into the autumn tournament.
He told BBC Sport: "For us, after the Six Nations, we will be going into the World Cup to put in good performances and hopefully the results will look after themselves. Losing five games is obviously not the best Six Nations. But, on the other side of that, there's a lot of positives we can take from that as we've played a lot of good rugby there.
"It gives us the added desire to get the results at the World Cup. It is small margins that are holding us back and not allowing us to get the results we want. The fans will be disappointed with the results, but at the same time we have been played a lot of good rugby, we're scoring tries, we're threatening in attack.
"By the time the World Cup comes around, we'll have one or two months together and it will be an improved team. If we can eradicate the slight negatives and mistakes, the results should turn around."
Scotland have been drawn alongside South Africa, Samoa, Japan and USA in Pool B.
