The 6 Nations are nearing a climax & what a climax it could turn out to be. The opportunity that presents itself is the showdown with England on St Patrick’s Day for the Grand Slam title. That said, the opportunity could very well be the downfall in disguise as Ireland must, & I emphasize must guard against complacency this weekend in order to avoid a repeat of last years result against Scotland. The tartan army ended Irish hopes before they even began last year as they caused a huge upset at the Aviva Stadium. This time, the stage is different, Ireland have huge energy within the group following three successive wins on the bounce & with that, they can use it to get them over the line.

Citylink ran an online giveaway during the week offering 2 x tickets to the Ireland/Scotland game as well as return tickets courtesy of Citylink. Well done to James Brennan who is thrilled having won the prize on offer. Thank you to all who entered,

Citylink verdict:

Outside the Irish camp, many will take Scotland for granted. The 15 that take the field will know that judging on the lackluster performance last year, nothing other than a grade A performance will be enough, especially now that the Scots have put England & France to the sword already. Ireland by 10.
