Ireland travel to Edinburgh to face Scotland in their second Six Nations game this weekend. Simon Easterby's side are aiming to make it two wins from their opening two Six Nations games following last weekend's victory over England at the Aviva Stadium. Tries from Jamison Gibson-Park, Bundee Aki, Tadhg Beirne and Dan Sheehan helped the back-to-back champions come from behind in their first match under interim head coach Easterby. Ireland have made two changes to the side that started against England as Peter O'Mahony and Robbie Henshaw come into the starting XV, while Sam Prendergast has been retained ahead of Jack Crowley at number 10. Here's what you need to know: Sunday, February 9. Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. Kick-off time TV channel information RTE Two will show the action live in the Republic of Ireland, while BBC One will show the game in the UK. Coverage starts at 2pm on both channels. Quotes corner Ireland interim head coach Simon Easterby: “We’re always continually trying to evolve and get better, as are Scotland and they showed that in the autumn, that they can mix it with the best, which they did really well. “It (Ireland’s recent record against Scotland) is something that’s been spoken about outside of the camp but we’re just trying to focus on getting our own game in order, making sure that we deliver a better performance than we did against England because that’s what it will take to beat Scotland in Murrayfield. We know how hard they are up there. “A lot of us have been there over the years as players and as coaches and certainly a good few years we didn’t have the same success that we’ve had in recent times. “We know the motivation they’ll have – they won’t need any – but we’ve obviously got internal motivation this year in terms of what we’re trying to do.” Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend: “Ireland are a top side and they have been for a number of years, clearly favourites for this game and looking to win three Six Nations in a row, which would be unprecedented. “All credit to them, they’ve worked hard to be one of the top teams in the world and they’ve kept that going over the last couple of years.” Betting odds Scotland win: 11/5 Ireland win: 2/5 The Irish Mirror has a rugby WhatsApp group where you can get breaking news and top stories on Ireland's Six Nations campaign straight to your phone.
