SPEAKING with former Scotland number 8 John Beattie earlier this week raised an eyebrow or two. When asked for his thoughts on the Six Nations' new champions, he commented: "I found Ireland boring".
ENGLAND captain Steve Borthwick's pre-Calcutta Cup match statement reminded me of a quote from Groucho Marx.
"From the moment I picked it up until the moment I put it down again, I was convulsed with laughter. Someday I might even read it".
IRELAND go into Saturday's clash at Cardiff in search of their first grandslam since 1948 and with a canny operator like Brian O'Driscoll leading them, who would bet against them doing it?
Glasgow Warriors boss Sean Lineen talks ahead of their Magners League clash at Ulster tomorrow.
AT last Scotland have got off the mark in this year's Six Nations - although you'd be forgiven if you had missed it.
