Scotland welcome Ireland to Murrayfield in the Six Nations this afternoon as the hosts look to begin a climb up the table.
Gregor Townsend’s team have played just two games so far in this year’s edition of the tournament, with their scheduled clash against France late last month postponed due to a coronavirus outbreak in the French squad. France resumed their campaign yesterday, losing to England in the final moments of a fiercely competitive game at Twickenham, and now it is the Scots’ turn to get back on the pitch.
Townsend’s men achieved a famous victory over England in their competition opener before falling to Wales, but a win today would see them get back in contention. Following France’s loss to England yesterday, Wales are the only nation capable of winning the Grand Slam, but Wayne Pivac’s side must still take on a dangerous France outfit before the tournament’s conclusion, and that result – combined with a positive run by the Scots – could see the complexion of the Six Nations table change.
