Brown wary of resurgent Irish

KELLY BROWN insists Scotland must leave nothing to chance against Ireland at Croke Park and be prepared for the hosts to be back to their best.

Scotland have lost both their opening matches in the RBS 6 Nations Championship on the back of desperately disappointing performances.

But Ireland were unconvincing in their 16-11 win over the Italians at the start of the month, and were then put to the sword by France in Paris, in the first 50 minutes of their Stade de France clash on February 9.
