Ireland head to Scottish Gas Murrayfield looking to extend a head-to-head winning run against Scotland that already stands at 10 matches.

It will be a first match in charge against the Scots for Simon Easterby however, with Andy Farrell absent as he prepares to take the British and Irish Lions this summer.

Ireland impressed in their second half against England, with Bundee Aki and Tadhg Beirne’s tries seizing the initiative, with Jack Crowley and Sam Prendergast’s battle for the 10 shirt intensifying.

Scotland for their part had a 31-19 home win over Italy, with Huw Jones the star of the show as he helped himself to a hat-trick.
