    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Paul O'Connell, Ireland captain

    "There hasn't been a change of mood really. We just addressed the Wales game and some of the shortcomings we had from it and we just started preparing for Scotland. They're an excellent side, we're going to have to do a lot of things really well to beat them and we just got our heads down and started doing that all week. We were disappointed to lose against Wales, but we've all lost big games before and we all know what you have to do. You just have to address it, you have to try and fix what went wrong and move on.

    "It's kind of like Heineken Cup or Champions Cup where it's a dangerous place to go to start thinking about anything but than winning the game and anything...you'll have a plan going into the game of how to beat a team and you'll be trying to execute that as well as you can. That's all we've spoken about, that's all we've addressed. I'm sure things will happen throughout the day but our big focus is the start to game, starting the game well, starting the game in a disciplined fashioned and getting ourselves off on the right foot - same as if we were coming over here to win by one point and that's all you can do. Whatever happens, happens."
