Ireland's prostitute, Dan Sheehan, insists that her team will go 'all burning weapons' to extend her dominant career against Scotland when bitter rivals Chocen in Murrayfield on Sunday.
The Irish will continue their search to become the first team to win three consecutive titles of the six nations when they face the men of Gregor Towsend in a shock of great success in Edinburgh.
Ireland has dominated the game for more than a decade, winning 14 of the last 15 games against the Scots, including the last 10 consecutive.
Towsend has never defeated Ireland during his time as a chief coach, with the last victory of Scotland in Vern Cotter in the six 2017 nations.
Ireland's last visit to Murrayfield a couple of years ago became an incredible history of triumph against adversity.
They lost four strikers due to injuries, including Sheehan and his partner Hooker Ronan Kelleher, in the first 48 minutes.

However, they managed to stay in the course for the Grand Slam courtesy of a return victory of 22-7 after the support of Cian Healy was completed in Hooker and Flanker Josh van Der Flier threw the lineout.
Sheehan admits that the Irish must be at the top of their game to extend their domain streak over the Scots.
“We know that their motivation will be to get one because they are a quality team that has good results against some of the best opponents worldwide,” he said.
'It is a massive test for us. We are fully aware of their motivation as a game at home and the statement that would give them for the rest of the tournament.
'We need to make sure we break on Sunday afternoon and that we are all burning. I do not think we can step upside down because if we give them a smell from the beginning, it will become a really difficult game. ''
Sheehan is hungry to recover her initial role after a notable return of an absence of six -month injuries.
The 26-year-old celebrated his return to Rugby Test leaving the bank to claim what turned out to be the decisive attempt in the victory of bonds of 27-22 last weekend over England.
A week earlier, he landed twice to Leinster at his first competitive departure since he broke his ACL last summer during the Ireland series raffle against the world champions of South Africa.

Sheehan has taken the confidence of these two performances, since her goal is to challenge the provincial teammate Kelleher for the number two shirt of her country on Sunday's visit to Scotland.
“Obviously, my ambitions are returning to an initial shirt, like that of all others,” he said. 'But I need to manage the load, spending six months out of the game three weeks in a row.
'It does not depend on me to choose the team, we will discover it in the next few days, but my ambition is to start again.
'It is nice to be back with the boys, be back in those great games, feel those nerves and that anxiety before a game.
'Of course, it is good to know that I can still add value to a team and nothing is restricting me.
“It is not in my head at all, so definitely the way I have been able to make has given me confidence that there is nothing wrong with me and I can continue.”
Meanwhile, the support of Scotland, Rory Sutherland, is confident that they have the power to overcome Ireland in advance in the confrontation of Six Nations on Sunday.
Ireland will go to Murrayfield without two key strikers after Tight Tadhg Furlong and Lock Joe McCarthy were discarded due to physical condition problems.
While the depth of the Ireland team would be the envy of most other nations, the loss of Furlong and McCarthy weakens his piece.
In particular, Furlong has long been established as one of the best business level heads, and his place is now likely to be taken by Finlay Bealham.
Scotland has been criticized for many years for its failure to match Ireland physically in advance and is now in a race of 10 consecutive defeats against men in green.
But, given the problems of injuries faced by the Irish, Sutherland believes that it is correct that Scotland should look for in the set-siege.
When asked if it is an area where Scotland can go after Ireland, he said: 'Yes, absolutely. I think the pieces are now a massive part of the game.
'You are looking to force sanctions, go up again to the other end of the field. The set-siege is something we have been working on, trying to improve for a long time.
'I think we are doing ground in that area. It will be a difficult challenge for us this week, but it is a challenge that we will enjoy and a challenge that we expect greatly.
'Regardless of whom they publish in the park, they will be a world class outfit. We will be prepared to deal with that.
'We are not under any illusion that Ireland is a poor side in advance. It will be a great test for us, but the Scrum is something we have really worked hard in recent years.
'Ireland is a team that we have in a very high esteem, we have a lot of respect for them, they are a fantastic outfit and we have been very close in recent years.
'We had a good start for the six nations last week, we'll seek to build that this week. I think there is a little additional spices there because they are, we have fallen short a couple of times.
“But we have a lot of respect for them and it is a test that we really expect and I think it is a test that we will be well prepared to win.”
