STUDENTS/International: The Ireland Students team is the only representative side in action in Dublin tonight, writes John O'Sullivan. They are worthy of support as they chase a Triple Crown having defeated Wales (29-12) and England (18-17).
Ireland Students v Scotland Students, Donnybrook (6.0).
Team manager Maurice Field is hoping the team can replicate their performance against the English, albeit with a more convincing scoreline. There has been selection disruptions with Jeremy Staunton, Donnacha O'Callaghan and Sheldon Coulter whisked away for A duty at Ravenhill tonight. Flanker Tom Carter and Michael Haslett are ruled out with injuries.
Ireland boast a very mobile pack as evidenced by their front role alone. There is plenty of space in the three-quarter line under the direction of Shane Moore at outhalf.
