Ireland, the reigning Six Nations champions, face Scotland in their second fixture of the tournament. The match, scheduled for Murrayfield on Sunday, February 9th, promises to be a fierce contest.
Ireland will be looking to continue their winning streak when they face Scotland in their second Six Nations match today. Simon Easterby's team got off to a fantastic start in their title defense last week with a victory over England at the Aviva Stadium last Saturday. Tries from Jamison Gibson-Park, Bundee Aki, Tadhg Beirne, and Dan Sheehan helped the back-to-back champions rally from behind in their first match under the interim head coach.
This will be a challenging test for them against Gregor Townsend's squad, who also secured a win on the opening weekend, defeating Italy 31-19.

Peter O'Mahony and Robbie Henshaw are entering the starting XV, while Sam Prendergast has retained his position at number 10 ahead of Jack Crowley. Ireland interim head coach Simon Easterby stated, 'We're always trying to evolve and improve, as are Scotland, and they demonstrated in the autumn that they can compete with the best. It's something that's been discussed outside the camp, but we're focused on getting our own game in order, ensuring we deliver a better performance than against England because that's what it will take to beat Scotland at Murrayfield. We know how tough it is there. Many of us have experienced it over the years as both players and coaches, and certainly for a few years, we didn't have the same success that we've had recently. We know the motivation they'll have - they won't need any - but we have our own internal motivation this year in terms of what we're trying to achieve.
