Six Nations: Dougie Fife says Scotland need to get their Six Nations campaign on track this Sunday

Dougie Fife says Scotland are confident they have the ability to defeat Wales at Murrayfield on Sunday.

Fife came off the bench on Saturday in Paris and scored a try as the Scots performed creditably in the15-8 loss to France in their opening match of the championship.

And the Edinburgh wing says the squad are determined to open their account this weekend against Wales, who were also beaten in their first match.

“We watched the Wales-England game on Friday,” said Fife. “It looked very physical and the breakdown was more competitive than it has been in the last few Six Nations, so that will be a big part of the match next week.

"Wales will be disappointed and will be looking for a backlash, but so will we. We respect every side in this tournament but we don't fear any team. We have the ability to beat anyone in this competition.

"It was very disappointing, the way we didn't get a result on Saturday. We felt we could have won it and it could have gone either way in the end.

"We definitely had the belief that we could come to Paris and win. We had a great autumn and thought rolling into this Six Nations we would be starting this campaign off in a good place.

"We still feel like we have. We played well over there and it was close. It will be a big game next week at Murrayfield and we just have to make sure we get back on track."

Having replaced Tommy Seymour after just 18 minutes in France, Fife is now targeting a place in the starting line-up on Sunday.

"We've got a talented squad with a lot of good wingers," he said. "But hopefully I have done enough to keep hold of the jersey. Fingers crossed anyway.

"That try has got to be up there with the most important I've ever scored. Scoring at the Stade de France is the type of thing you dream about."
