Scotland are aiming to shake off an unwanted record as they prepare to host Ireland in Edinburgh this weekend.

Ad

The Scots have lost 10 straight matches to the Irish across all competitions, a run stretching back to 2017.

Coach Gregor Townsend will be determined to record an upset, especially given Scotland overcame Italy 31-19 with relative ease on the opening weekend and would build a terrific launchpad with a victory here.

Ireland adapted well to the post-Andy Farrell era, as interim coach Simon Easterby guided his squad to a 27-22 victory over England.

Their class in the second half was evident, and the scoreline flattered their opponents.

Back-to-back wins over England and Scotland would place Ireland in pole position to retain their title, even at this early stage of the competition.
