Andy Farrell believes Ireland’s under-pressure scrummaging unit is saving the best for last in the Triple Crown decider against Scotland at Aviva Stadium on Saturday. There has been regression since at scrum-time, however, with Ireland’s front row coming off second best to Italy, England and Wales despite Farrell’s team winning all three matches. "The guys are working extremely hard to save the best until last, that's for sure,” Farrell said. "More so, like I've been saying all along, it's to give people a chance when they deserve it. Tom Stewart 100 per cent deserved it, he could have had a try last weekend and didn't.
