Ireland 'desperate to show best version' - Bemand
Ireland head coach Scott Bemand said his side "are desperate to get on the pitch and show people what they can do" in Sunday's final Six Nations match against Scotland at the Aviva Stadium [14:30 BST]. Bemand's side are aiming to register their third home win of this campaign and secure third position in the table. More than 30,000 tickets have been sold for the match in Dublin, which is a record number for a women's rugby match in Ireland.
"We're desperate to get out there. We've done the prep work. Now it's about recover, refresh and get ready to go," Bemand said.
"The girls are desperate to get on the pitch and show people what they can do. I think we've got a confidence that says we know how to get our best versions out there, our best performance out there, and we'll go after that. "It won't ever be perfect.
That's not what rugby looks like. " Ireland's confidence will be high after beating Italy and Wales on home turf and they face a Scottish side who are without a win in their past three matches. However, it was Scotland who were the 26-19 victors last time the sides met after a strong second-half comeback.
"They look like they're well organised. They'll take some breaking down," added Bemand. "They look like they have a plan and know how to go about it to achieve it.
