McGeechan tips Ireland to win Six Nations

Scottish rugby legend Ian McGeechan started the approach to the Six Nations by nominating Ireland as the likely winners of the tournament.

"They're settled, they're confident and they've got some talented players. They look a very competent side. I thought they did well in the autumn," he said.

He sees Ireland’s stability and talent as the twin virtues for a drive towards retaining the Championship ahead of their rivals.
