Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has rubbished suggestions that this weekend’s Six Nations finale will be an ‘anti-climax’.
A win over Scotland by any margin will seal the title for Ireland, regardless of how England get on against France in Paris.
Farrell said: “Anti-climax? How many times have we won the Six Nations? Everyone would love to be our position, we’ve got to make sure we are loving that challenge as well.
“Paddy’s weekend again, a chance to win a Six Nations, it doesn’t get… well, it could have been a little better, but these things, the Grand Slams are unbelievably hard to come by.
“Six Nations are hard enough, as anyone would vouch for.”
