Scotland haven’t won in Dublin since 2010.
SCOTLAND ARRIVED IN Dublin ahead of tomorrow’s Six Nations meeting with Ireland with a miserable record hanging over them.
Secondly, Ireland need to underperform. If Andy Farrell’s men produce a performance similar to last week’s off-colour showing in London, it could be another tricky evening for them. It’s also worth remembering that although Ireland got the job done against England in their Grand Slam decider last year, it was a nervy performance from the home side.
Advertisement With that shot at history gone, some have been slow to get excited about the prospect of securing another Six Nations title on home soil. That doesn’t appear to be the case in the Irish camp at least, as Farrell’s players have been quick to talk up the opportunity that lies ahead of them tomorrow. Avoid defeat, and Ireland will be Six Nations champions again.
The England defeat was Ireland’s first Six Nations loss since February 2022 and raised some interesting questions for Farrell’s team. For much of the game Ireland struggled to deal with England’s physicality and intensity and a defence which has proved so difficult to break down found themselves totally stretched as England ran in three tries.
