Numbers adding up for defence guru Kiss

BASED on the last two rounds of Six Nations action, the likelihood of Scotland breaching the Irish line on Saturday seems as remote as Ireland’s hopes of claiming successive championships.

Andy Robinson’s men have blown and blown but the house just won’t come down for them, and they sit bottom of the table on a solitary point with just two tries in the for column – both against Wales.

Ireland, however, have been in mean form since shipping three tries to France and have made 208 tackles in 160 minutes of rugby, only conceding one try.
