Backs to the wall time for Ireland

Cian Healy has been in must-win territory before but knows feeling hurt by last week’s defeat alone cannot get Ireland’s Guinness Six Nations campaign back on track.

The 32-20 defeat to England in Dublin last Saturday was just the second time in almost two years that Ireland have lost but Healy believes last year’s Grand Slam winners cannot take a positive reaction from that defeat for granted when they face Scotland at Murrayfield this afternoon.
