    So if Ireland win by 21 that's surely the championship, unless France capitulate

    Scotland aren't a good side; they are ranked 10th in the world. They might be hard to break down, but as it was against Italy in the 6N opener, that isn't an excuse.

    We don't deserve to win the 6N if we can only stop sides beating us. We need to show an ability to beat sides.

    Its doable, but it's a big ask. Just remember that that Italy side beat Scotland!

    Brent talking nonsense. Ireland must not change their gameplan. For real?

    If ireland enter the half time break with a ten point lead we can take the championship. Schmidt teams are all about the second half for tries.

    That Wales result will have filtered into the dressing room and knocked the confidence in this team I feel. Lot of young players and I feel the occasion and task may get to them. Ireland to win by 13 points.

    If it was a home game id be more positive of our chances to run a score up, but not away .

    Chasing 20 points would surely motivate them.

    At least we have an idea of what needs to be done. Might be beyond us with the kind of game scotland play but sure here's hoping.

    What young players? Henshaw is the only young player starting. You could consider POM and Murray, but both players are about as good as it gets in this hemisphere and extremely experienced.

    From the offset we have to go at them, I believe we can do it, but it's going to take a lot of fight and the Scots won't give over easily.

    Might be easier to chase a game against a running Scotland team than the horribly ugly Scot teams of the past.

    We can do this, everyone saying we can't win a game by a large amount is talking absolute rubbish. We beat SA by 14, and beat the required margin 3 times in last year's tournament.
