Coach Andy Farrell and captain Johnny Sexton will be determined to rebuild momentum that was shattered with a poor showing at the World Cup in Japan.

They enter the game as favourites with Scotland in disarray following a feud between star man Finn Russell and coach Gregor Townsend.

Reports have hinted at major disputes between the pair, culminating in Russell being axed from the squad after a breach of team protocol on a night out and missing a training session.

Ireland will hope to capitalise on the situation with a commanding win to ease their campaign into life.
