IRELAND forwards coach Paul O'Connell says the current Scottish side is the best one he has come up against.
Ireland will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in this season's Guinness Six Nations Championship at Murrayfield on Sunday, 3pm.
O'Connell said: "They’re very well coached, very physical and they’ve got some real x-factor players as well, Finn Russell and Stuart Hogg.
"They’re in a very good place and we’re aware of the challenge. We’ve taken confidence, from some of the things we’ve done in the last three games."
