Scotland suffered a disappointing 31-29 defeat against Italy, as the hosts secured their first home Six Nations victory in 11 years.

Ireland v Scotland key player to watch
Bundee Aki (Ireland)
The centre has consistently been Ireland’s most dangerous threat on both sides of the ball this tournament, and even performed impressively in Ireland’s loss at Twickenham.
Expect the Connacht man to blow several holes in Scotland in both attack and defence en route to a likely title win.
Ireland v Scotland prediction
A shock loss to Steve Borthwick’s side will no doubt smarten Farrell’s men up ahead of this weekend. They’ll be itching to retain their title emphatically and in style in front of a home crowd.
Scotland have been inconsistent all tournament and have never been more vulnerable than they are entering this final round. Add on the fact they have not won in Dublin since a 23-20 Six Nations triumph in 2010 and they may be in for a rough afternoon.
