We met Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt and captain Rory Best to discuss their thoughts ahead of the 2017 RBS 6 Nations.
"Probably what's most excited for us is all the teams look like they're in pretty good form" Schmidt said.
Ireland start against Scotland and the New Zealander knows they will be a tough opposition - "hopefully we can get off to a good start, even that's gonna be very very tough against Scotland".
How will Ireland do this year?
