"No. It's out of our hands really. We can only do a certain amount. It's a game for us to play against an opponent that's had the upper hand on us for years. We're playing them away from home. They've got a brilliant record at home. It's a challenge but a real opportunity for us to go and deliver an even better performance than we did last week."
"That performance was close to the best that we've seen from this group and from probably any Scotland team. It'll be a different game than last week so you've got to adapt, stick together for that 80 minutes and give it everything because it's going to be your last opportunity in this year's Six Nations and last opportunity as a team for a few months."
Scotland enters Super Saturday as one of three teams capable of winning the Six Nations championship, alongside France and Ireland. Coach Gregor Townsend emphasizes that Scotland's fate depends on multiple results: they must beat Ireland in Dublin while France loses to England in Paris. Townsend declines to discuss winning the title, stating it remains out of their control. Scotland arrives in Dublin on a three-game winning streak, including an impressive 50-40 victory over France. The team faces a significant challenge against Ireland, who hold an 11-game unbeaten streak against Scotland and possess a strong home record. A win would secure Scotland's first Triple Crown since 1990.
