Interested to see how sean o Brien goes tomorrow are his best days behind him ?
The Scotls like to attack from all over the field but can't see Ireland playing along with them and expect Ireland to keep ball with the forwards and grind out the win 22-15

I hope the bus arrives on time this time

IF, Ireland are to have any chance in the World Cup they should treat this year's 6 Nations like the way Jim Gavin treats the National League. Use it to develop the squad, try out tactics, etc, but don't be throwing the kitchen sink at it.

Joe Schmidts positive contribution and legacy to Irish Rugby will be largely judged on whether we can get to a world cup semi final at the very least later this year. Anything we get from a 6 Nations in a world cup year is a bonus, that's all.

Windy conditions today will be a great leveller. Apprehensive about this game.

Not too sure why Quinn Roux is on the team. From what I have seen he is mediocre.

Carberry playing much like how Ireland played last week. I am questioning whether Ireland have bothered to show up for this week's game with two fortunate tries. If this was Wales or England then Ireland would be getting punished.

Ireland's passing game has been shicking, there have been too many mistakes made. The passes being made are too risky and they aren't keeping it tight.

The kicking game has been utterly crap. I'm actually worried that Scotland will come out and replicate Ireland's box kicking and beating them at it.

Ireland out of jail there a couple of times. They look leaderless

Stockdale having a great game, going forward and defence.
