Scotland vs Ireland?

Question

Just heard Scotland have made only 1 change from the team that lost at home to Italy

In view of this have they a cat in h**l's chance of not being destroyed by the Irish team at the weekend?

Anyone think Ireland won't win ?

Answer 1

This is the best Irish team ever assembled, I don't think the Scots even believe themselves they can win. I think they are looking to get some team continuity going by playing the same team and try and get some player familiarity and team work going. That's what they need to do in the absence of star quality

Ireland to win by 20 pints (points) lol

Answer 2

Scotland often* win when no-one thinks they have a chance.

Who would Hadden change, It's not like they have a proper squad.

And unlike England, they don't have the luxury of being able to call Mike Catt to come and sort things out.

*ok, maybe not that often.

Answer 3

nope!

Answer 4

being an irish fan im fairly confident due to the level of confidence we are showing at present as opposed to scots whose back division seem short of ideas and confidence

Answer 5

If Scotland can turn it into a scrap they have a chance.

Ideal conditions would be heavy rain and driving wind to nullify the Irish backs. Then the Scots forwards will have to play out of their skins and hope Paterson kicks better than O'Gara. He is a better kicker.

I'd give Scotland a 1 in 10 chance. They did beat England & France at home last year, seems a long time ago now.

Answer 6

Ireland have a powerful team.The superstars O'gara and Odriscol are in form and they have chance to win if they play good.Ireland is  in form after the game with England.

Answer 7

i am a proud scot i hope we can do it but theres no shame in being beaten by our irish brothers they are playing fantastic rugby
