Rob Kearney insists that Ireland cannot afford to feel sorry for themselves ahead of their Six Nations clash with Scotland on Saturday.

Rob Kearney has insisted that Ireland cannot afford to feel sorry for themselves ahead of their Six Nations clash with Scotland on Saturday.

An incorrectly awarded penalty saw Declan Kidney's team lose 23-21 to Wales on the opening weekend.

After responding with a comfortable 42-10 win against Italy, Ireland fell agonisingly short of securing their first victory in Paris for 12 years as they were held 17-17 by France on Sunday.

Despite his frustration at the results so far, Kearney insists that he and his team must not feel sorry for themselves, as that will hinder their chances of a win over the wooden spoon contenders on Saturday.

He said: "Scotland will pose a massive threat. They're a good team and like ourselves they've had a couple of unlucky games. It will be a massive match.

"It won't be difficult to pick ourselves up because you can't afford to be like that. If you don't stop crying and move on, you lose again and things snowball.

"Sometimes after a game like [the France game] the perfect medicine is to get out again. We're lucky to be back in Dublin in front of our own fans. We need to get a win."

Scotland won 23-20 the last time that the sides met on Irish soil in 2010.
