Suddenly, Scotland's championship is at a huge turning point. After the agonising one-point defeat at Twickenham nine days ago, Gregor Townsend's side are left facing a nightmare scenario. Wales, their next opponents, were on a hiding to nothing before Warren Gatland was replaced by Matt Sherratt, and suddenly are not out of it when they come to Murrayfield on Saturday. Lose there, and Scotland would be entering the final weekend and a trip to Paris still only one one win for the tournament.

It was a familiar tale of woe for Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday as Ireland underlined their superiority to claim an 11th-straight win between the sides and puncture any home hopes of a title challenge. All the bullish talk of belief that emanated from the Scots' camp in the build-up was swiftly silenced as the visitors raced into 17-0 lead before Finn Russell and Darcy Graham were taken off after a nasty clash of heads.

The greatest show in rugby kicks off this weekend and, as ever, debate is already raging over who will be fighting it out for the Six Nations title come the final weekend. Mail Sport put our expert panel to the test... but did former Scotland captains ANDY NICOL and JASON WHITE, or our Deputy Chief Sports Writer CALUM CROWE predict Scotland will finally break their duck? Or are Gregor Townsend’s injury problems just too severe to mount a challenge?

What were your main takeaways from the win over Australia? Who stood out and what impressed you about Scotland’s performance? Calum Crowe: In the second half, Scotland were outstanding. In terms of the level of opponent, that was probably their best 40 minutes of rugby all year. Blair Kinghorn was named man of the match and it was hard to argue with that given his involvement in so many of Scotland’s best moments in attack. But Jamie Ritchie also had an excellent game.

By Jannik Haas, Andy Nicol, David Dempsey, Ian Wright, Matthew J Watson & Rebecca Peer*Hydrogen has been called the “Swiss army knife” of decarbonisation because it can do many things. But not all of them make sense. Today, the world uses about 100 megatonnes of hydrogen per year (MT/y), but this is produced almost entirely from fossil fuels. To use hydrogen for decarbonisation, we must shift to emissions-free forms.

It has all been a bit stop-start for Scotland with the South Africa match being sandwiched by two non-events against Fiji and Portugal. Do they need to beat Australia for it to be a successful autumn campaign? Calum Crowe: Yeah, 100 per cent. Let’s not beat around the bush here. We were playing against Fiji’s reserves and a Portugal team who are part-time and ranked No 15 in the world.

Scotland weren’t clinical enough in key moments against South Africa. This has been a recurring theme for us in big games against the top teams. Does this team have a problem executing under pressure? Calum Crowe: There are times when players speak about missed opportunities and it feels like a bit of a smokescreen for the wider failings in a performance. But Scotland did blow several good chances to score against South Africa.

What do Scotland need to do better tactically compared to the 18-3 defeat to South Africa in last year’s World Cup? Calum Crowe: We need to be smarter and show an ability to adapt to whatever South Africa throw at us. Scotland’s attack became far too predictable and one-dimensional in that game in Marseille. The blitz defence from the Springboks completely smothered Finn Russell and put the Scotland fly-half under huge pressure any time he got the ball.

What an achievement by Glasgow Warriors. Winning this championship in Pretoria against the Blue Bulls - in front of 52,000 partisan fans - is nothing short of phenomenal. In fact, this is the greatest win in Scotland’s rugby history. I don’t write that freely. The Grand Slams of 1925, 1984 and 1990 were huge moments of our past but I do think what the Warriors did on Saturday tops them all. It definitely tops what they did in 2015 when they won the Pro12 by beating Munster in Belfast.
