Back-row star insists Scots can handle title pressure

- BY ANTHONY BROWN

RORY DARGE believes Scotland are primed for the pressure of 'Super Saturday' after showing they can handle playing must-win rugby since losing their Six Nations opener in Italy.

Gregor Townsend's resurgent side go into their final match in Ireland knowing victory could secure them a first Six Nations title, if France slip up at home to England later in the day.

The Scots have kept their championship hopes alive with consecutive victories over England, Wales and France, and Darge is adamant those experiences will stand them in good stead for what promises to be a dramatic weekend.

"Our backs were against the wall after Rome," said back-rower Darge, alluding to the 18-15 defeat by the Azzurri in round one.
