Woodward watches Scots' preparations for Ireland clash

LIONS boss Clive Woodward yesterday spent the day with the Scottish squad as they continue preparing for Saturday's RBS 6 Nations meeting with Ireland at Murrayfield.

Scotland coach Matt Williams said: "We're delighted to welcome Sir Clive to our training session. It's a great opportunity for our guys to put their hand up and add to the claims they make in the international arena for a place in New Zealand with the Lions during the summer.

"They have been working exceptionally hard for the Six Nations and aiming to win for Scotland, so to know that there could be the added honour of a Lions tour at the end of it is yet another incentive.
