Ireland head coach Andy Farrell: “It is the best Italian side coming to Dublin. As far as respect, you would be mad not to,” Farrell said of the challenge ahead.
“We have all watched the games of what has happened of the last year, six months, and the job that everyone is doing in Italy is fantastic and the respect is right at the forefront.
“Honestly, it is about us having more respect for ourselves this week.”
Italy head coach Gonzalo Quesada: “Nacho is a player of great value to the group both on and off the field, but in managing this team, the human side and family – from my point of view – will always be considered a priority.
“We discussed it with him, and the decision made is for the best. To be focused on your work, it is important to have peace of mind: in every area, with players and staff, we work with the people first and the professionals second.”
Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend: “It’s huge. It’s our biggest game of the season and it always has been.
“It’s even more important on the back of a disappointing defeat.
“We know our supporters are behind us, as they always are, and we’ll need their energy.”
England head coach Steve Borthwick: “I think Gregor Townsend is a wonderful coach. I was told recently that he has the best win record of any Scotland coach in the professional era. Sir Ian McGeechan had two spells and I think Gregor sits above that. The way he has coached the attack they have, and the way they move the ball, when they do that, they look terrific.
“I have immense respect for him as a coach and I find it surprising that people are not spending more time talking about Scotland rather than not supporting their coach. I think he’s a phenomenal coach and they should spend more time supporting him.”
