Ireland continue their quest for a Grand Slam when play Scotland at Murrayfield this afternoon.
Gaelic Games
Kildare hurlers stretched their unbeaten run in all competitions to 15 yesterday.
They beat Kerry in Division 2A by 2- 20 to 0-21 in St. Conleth’s Park to chalk up 4 league wins out of 4.
The win guarantees David Herity’s squad at least a Division 2A home semi final.
Next Sunday, they go to Tullamore to play Offaly; the winners of that game go into the Division final.
Offaly beat Carlow yesterday and are, also, unbeaten, but Kildare have a better score difference.

But, it was defeat for Kildare Camogie in the curtain raiser Division 3A League in Newbridge.
Following last week’s opening win over Tyrone, Kildare lost to Armagh by 2-13 to 0-6

Rugby
In the Six Nations today, Ireland are away to Scotland at 3pm.
Ireland have beaten the Scots in the last seven meetings and in 19 of 23 Six Nations games.
With a home game against England to come next Saturday, an Ireland win today will keep them on course for the Grand Slam.
But Scotland can wrap up a first Triple Crown since 1990 if they win; and that would put them in the championship picture, with a home tie against Italy to come.
