will be a straight shoot-out between the top ranked Ireland, and world number five side, Scotland in Paris. The winner progresses to the knock-out stages alongside South Africa.
Ireland coach Andy Farrell wants his side to make life simple for the number one team in the world and just win….“It’s a massive game, it’s so important to, to us and certainly obviously to them. But to the travelling fans and the people back home, etc. It’s a huge game. We have Iain Henderson in our group who’s good at maths, so we’re across everything as far as that’s concerned, but the easiest way is to make sure that we perform well and deserve to win the game outright.”some two weeks ago.
“The pressure of sport is always there. No one knows who will win the game at kick off, anything can happen. It’s about adapting to situations, but keep bringing your focus when things are going really well to keep on going really well, but also to make sure you’re back on track as a team when things aren’t going your way because you can get momentum back, you can change a scoreline very quickly. I know this team can do that and we have done that.
