Fireworks, full house and, erm, Fatboy Slim blaring – the teams are on the field.
The anthems will follow shortly. Oh, after the two teams meet the Irish president, Catherine Connolly, who gets ready to make 30 handshakes. She’s a pro at this.
Who are the key players for both sides today? I’m going to be Captain Obvious and say Scotland’s magician Finn Russell and Ireland’s majestic Jamison Gibson-Park.
Now, a No 10 and a scrum-half, so not exactly an on-pitch head-to-head. But if Russell is getting plenty of ball in hand, Scotland’s attack will likely be flowing; if Gibson-Park is the name you keep hearing, it’s probably Ireland’s style of match.
The teams are in the tunnel, about to come on to the pitch!
