Blair Kinghorn is going to get the same treatment as every other out-half that Ireland play against, says Jack Conan.
The Edinburgh playmaker has earned his first Six Nations start for Scotland in Saturday's 4.45pm kick-off in Dublin.
Gregor Townsend’s men are playing for a top-half finish, while Ireland can wrap up a Triple Crown with an outside shot at the title.
Despite not getting a championship start prior to this, 25-year-old Kinghorn has 30 caps to his name and comes in for Finn Russell, who drops to the bench.
"I know he hasn’t played a lot of international at 10 but he’s played a good bit this season with Edinburgh and they are going particularly well in the URC," number 8 Conan said.
"I’m sure he’ll be looking forward to the challenge ahead of him.
"We haven’t spoken as a team about it yet because we’re only just back in together now.
"But it’s definitely an area we’ll go after no matter who is in that position because you always go to put pressure on the opposition 10 to make the play early, to show those pictures early in the game.
"I’m sure there’ll be lots of conversations about it over the next few days."
Conan was part of the squad that beat England last weekend, coming on to score a decisive try which put Ireland out of reach.
Fellow replacements Rob Herring, Robbie Henshaw and Finlay Bealham played their parts too but the Wicklow man was eager to point out the role played by those who didn’t make the match-day squad.
"More than 23, it’s about the 36, 37, the lads who have come in and out of the squad over the last few weeks," said the 29-year-old Lions Test starter.
"We spoke yesterday, about how good the bibs, the lads who haven’t been playing, because you rise and fall on the standard of training, not to your opposition.
"The lads have been putting the team under incredible pressure.
"They’ve played some fantastic rugby in those training sessions and it’s been a massive group effort, lads coming and going but everyone has played their part to get us to this position."
Ireland’s scrum conceded six penalties and a free kick in Twickenham and Conan, one of three changes to the side with Mack Hansen and Iain Henderson, is content that they will improve on Saturday.
"There was a lot of talking points and lessons learned from the weekend," said the Leinster forward.
"The referee has come back and said a few decisions went against us when they shouldn’t have but that’s rugby and those things happen. It’s always a good learning curve and we’ll be better for it.
"I know the lads in the front row pride themselves around their bits in the scrum so they were pretty disheartened about it but it will just make us better this weekend for it .
"I think they are excited for the challenge and to right the few wrongs from Twickenham and end on a high.
"We’ve done everything we can to get ourselves in position post Paris and at the moment it’s all about trying to win this Triple Crown and whatever else happens happens."
