Lee Jones wary of Canada threat

Scotland's Lee Jones is expecting a "tough" match against Canada in the rugby sevens despite the North American outfit being thrashed by New Zealand earlier today.

Scotland sevens back Lee Jones has warned his side not to underestimate Canada when they face each other at the Commonwealth Games later today.

Canada got off to a poor start with a resounding 39-0 defeat to New Zealand in the opening match of the day, although they did bounce back to trounce Barbados 68-5 in their second outing.

Scotland, meanwhile, pushed the All Blacks all the way before eventually falling to a 17-14 defeat, and Jones is expecting another tough match against the Canadians.

"I'll be honest with you, I saw that game this morning and it looked as if Canada hadn't turned up. I think they will be a lot better in the next game," he told Sports Mole.

"They got a result against Barbados, so they'll be tough in the next match definitely."

Canada beat Scotland in the semi-finals of the Glasgow sevens back in May.
