Scotland outside centre Huw Jones caught the eye with a fine performance for the British & Irish Lions during their hard-fought 21-10 victory against the Waratahs in Sydney on Saturday.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 31-year-old made his debut for the famous touring side off the replacements bench in the the Lions\u2019 54-7 win against the Western Force before making his first Lions start during last Wednesday\u2019s 52-12 triumph over the Reds in Brisbane and celebrated that achievement by crossing for a try.<\/p>\n
He got his name onto the scoresheet and delivered a solid performance but hardly set the world alight in that game.<\/p>\n
However, it was a different story against the Waratahs as Jones<\/a> shone on attack and was rewarded with a brace of tries for his efforts.<\/p>\n It helped that he was part of a centre partnership with Sione Tuipulotu<\/a>, with who he also forms a seemingly telepathic link-up for Glasgow Warriors and Scotland.<\/p>\n \u2018Huwipulotu\u2019 in fine form against the Waratahs<\/p>\n The midfield duo, who are known as \u2018Huwipulotu\u2019, showed why they are so successful as they combined brilliantly for the Lions<\/a> against the Waratahs.<\/p>\n And during the early stages of that clash they showed their class as Tuipulotu ran onto a pass from Lions scrum-half Alex Mitchell inside their opponents\u2019 22 before firing out a perfectly timed no-look pass to Jones, who beat a couple of defenders with deft footwork before crossing for his first try.<\/p>\n He revealed after the game that his exciting partnership with Tuipulotu is something which does not happen by accident.<\/p>\n \u201cWe work hard a lot in training around getting connected and our running lines together,\u201d Jones told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n \u201cA lot of it is to do with timing and angles. We are constantly talking within the game, before set pieces, around which gaps we are targeting, which players we are targeting, trying to split defenders.<\/p>\n
