Ireland at home to Scotland next Saturday

Next Saturday wil be the last 6 nations international in the present Lansdowne Road stadium. We are expecting an easy victory. The thesis is that Ireland put in a good performance against Wales and that the Scots will not be as good away from home as they were in Murrayfield against England and France. This is dangerous thinking. The Scots will be thinking that they now have had their hardest games behind them; their final game against Italy should be a reasonably straight forward win for them. So, if Scotland can beat Ireland on Saturday and England beat France and Ireland beat England next week – then hey presto Scotland are the Champions. While nobody is saying much about this – you can be sure the Scots have figured it out. No time for complacency, especially with the average performances so far.
