Jordan plays down Lions talk as he relishes first Six Nations with Scotland

Tom Jordan says he has paid no attention to people tipping him as a possible bolter for Andy Farrell's British and Irish Lions squad, and says playing Six Nations rugby for Scotland was something he never envisaged.

After making his Test debut against Fiji in November, Jordan deputised impressively for injured captain Sione Tuipulotu during the championship.

His performances have led some to consider the Glasgow Warrior an outside bet to make the Lions plane to Australia.

"I haven't really thought about it too much," said Jordan. "I don't really know how the selection and all that goes, but I'm trying to put my best foot forward and we'll see what happens from there."

Jordan said he has relished every moment of his first Six Nations and admitted when he arrived in Scotland to play for semi-professional outfit Ayrshire Bulls, the idea of playing Test rugby seemed far, far way away.

"I would never have thought this would have happened, I guess," Jordan said after Scotland's 35-16 defeat to France in Paris.

"You get a lot of emotions going into the game, different thoughts here and there of different things and you're just really grateful to be out there.

"You just try to be present, soak up the moment and just enjoy every moment because I think in international rugby, a lot of guys can maybe not enjoy it and it comes faster than the club stuff.

"Gutted we didn't get the win, but it's been a great few months that's flown by and I've just really enjoyed every moment."
