Stuart Hogg confident Scotland can cause a Six Nations upset in Dublin

Full-back Hogg will captain his country at the Aviva Stadium bidding to end a losing streak dating back to 2010.

Stuart Hogg insists Scotland are capable of defying the odds and ending their decade-long wait for victory in Dublin ahead of their Guinness Six Nations opener against the “world-class” talents of Ireland.

Full-back Hogg will captain his country at the Aviva Stadium bidding to end a losing streak dating back to a 23-20 win at Croke Park in 2010.

The unfancied Scots, on the back of a dismal World Cup campaign, are rank outsiders for Saturday’s match and priced at 7/1 for victory with some bookmakers.
