MURRAY UP & GO..

James can't wait for green light fixture against resurgent Scots

- MICHAEL SCULLY

JAMES LOWE predicts a Murrayfield "cracker" for the Triple Crown after catching the latest evidence of Scotland's revival.

The Ireland winger got home from Rome on Sunday afternoon, plonked himself in front of the TV and watched France come under serious pressure from the Scots before the hosts ultimately prevailed.

The results leaves Ireland with the only 100 per cent record in the championship and on course for the Triple Crown and more, with the Grand Slam there to be won with the trip to Edinburgh on Sunday week and home collision with England six days later still to come.
