(Reuters) - England must avoid being provoked by a "niggly" Scotland side in Saturday's Six Nations clash at Murrayfield, head coach Eddie Jones has said.

England, beaten by France in their opener, crashed to a 25-13 defeat at Murrayfield two years ago after players from both teams were involved in a scuffle near the tunnel after the pre-match warm-up.
