#IREvSCO Match Thread
New #Ireland head coach in Andy Farrell takes charge of a somewhat changed #Ireland, last seen being drubbed by #NZ in the #rugbyworldcup. Finn Russell is of course not in the #Scotland squad, Hopefully this will be a bit more even of a match than Wales' outing against Italy, but the bookies have Scotland 7 to 1 so... probably not. Scotland haven't beaten Ireland in Dublin since 2010
@jaz Hard to see beyond an Irish win here. Scotland have a lot of work to do to get back to winning ways. I'm a fan of Hastings at 10, but they're going to miss Russell massively.
On the Irish front, Cooney's not the replacement we need, but he deserves to be starting ahead of Murray. Looking forward to him shining off the bench.
Caelan Doris for motm. Absolute monster. Ireland by 20. #rugby #irevsco #6nations
@jaz Doris straight in for the steal.
@dregin Scotland starting strong to be fair, clearly trying to make a strong impression up front before the game gets away from them. Doris still down...
