Hadden says Scots have every right to be upbeat

SCOTLAND coach Frank Hadden is convinced his players are “equipped” to win the RBS 6 Nations Championship - and grabbing a rare away victory in Ireland.

His team go to Lansdowne Road on Saturday level on points with England, France and Ireland at the top of the table following their thrilling Calcutta Cup triumph last week.

Hadden, who makes two changes to his starting line-up, with Nathan Hines and Scott Murray replacing Scott MacLeod and Alastair Kellock, is confident more success will follow.
