Blair played 70 minutes against Italy on Saturday

Scotland beat eventual winners France and world champions England at Murrayfield and finished with a hard-fought win over Italy in Rome.

"We've not functioned at 100%," said Blair. "We've not really performed, but in terms of results we have.

"We were a bit underestimated this season but now we'll have more respect from the other teams."

The win over Italy was Scotland's first on the road in the Six Nations since 2002 and showed the spirit and organisation coach Frank Hadden has brought to the side.

There is a lot more to come from our attacking game - we've really only scratched the surface Scotland coach Frank Hadden

But Blair believes Scotland are yet to reach their potential with the ball in hand.

"The defence has been amazing and the attack is starting to come together," added Blair, who replaced the injured Chris Cusiter after 10 minutes on Saturday.

"We had a lot of the ball against Italy and if we can continue to see more ball we can do more with it."

Hadden, meanwhile, believes his backline will soon hit their stride and make Scotland a genuine threat on the world scene.

"There is a lot more to come from our attacking game and we've really only scratched the surface with it," he said.

"There won't be a problem when we have had time to work on it in training but more importantly in a match. There's no doubt there's more to come.

"The handling could be better but I expected that wee bit of rust because we haven't done too much of it recently."
