Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend: “The belief is there and when we get our
game right and the elements of a game, it can put pressure on
any defence.
“When we get our defence in place, we can
frustrate opposition, we can get the ball back, but this is a
different challenge. It’ll be a different style of game than last
week’s.
“We’re playing away from home which is a big challenge in
itself and we’re playing against a top quality side and over the past
few years, Ireland have played well against us. We’ve not always played
well. Sometimes we have.
“We’re
expecting a real physical challenge. They’re a top side. Their
performance against England was one of the standout performances of
this year’s Championship and if they deliver that, which we’re
expecting them to do, we’re going to have to be be very, very good to
win.”
