Conor Murray: Scotland will be licking lips if Ireland can't right wrongs

'They’re always a really difficult side to play against and they’ve a few new fellas in there'

Ireland coach Andy Farrell talking tactics with his squad. ‘We’ve reviewed the Georgia game honestly and truthfully and there’s an appetite in the squad to get it right this weekend,’ says Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray.

If Ireland were Scotland and had seen the second-half performance put in against Georgia at Aviva Stadium, Conor Murray said he would be smelling blood going to Dublin this weekend.

The Scots arrive in the capital on Saturday for the final international weekend of 2020 as the Six Nations rivals vie for a third-place finish in the Autumn Nations Cup, with Murray believing Gregor Townsend’s squad will be “licking their lips” at the prospect of playing a side they ran awfully close on the same ground back in February and which struggled badly against the Georgians in a poor second half last Sunday.
