It was no surprise that Peter O'Mahony has set his sights on beating Scotland but the Ireland captain says the senior players are aware of the permutations that would clinch the Guinness Six Nations title.
Ireland have a four-point buffer over England going into the final round.
Their vastly superior points difference means a single match point would be a de facto title-clincher and two points would give them an unassailable lead, no matter if England managed to reach 17 with a bonus-point win in France.
The unthinkable scenario would see Ireland lose without a bonus point and then have to hang around the Aviva Stadium as Scotland celebrate a Triple Crown while cheering on France in Lyon.
A win takes everything else off the table and the celebrations can begin in Dublin as Les Bleus and England play out a dead rubber.
"You have to discuss these things, especially the guys who are making decisions around refereeing calls, that kind of stuff, penalties," O’Mahony, who will captain the side on his 105th Ireland appearance, told RTÉ Sport.
"We are going out to win tomorrow, that’s what we do for every Test match.
"Of course, there’s a handful of us who might have to make a decision or need to know the permutations, but we want to put in a performance tomorrow that’s capable of winning."
The last day of the championship in 2015 brought with it no end of Super Saturday drama.
Wales thrashed Italy to move ahead in the table, Ireland beat Scotland convincingly in Murrayfield leaving England needing a 26-point win over France in the final game.
"The mad day, was it?" O’Mahony said when asked for his memories of their last back-to-back title wins, clinched when England, despite France’s best efforts late on, won by 20.
"It was torture," said.
"Wales went out and put up a big score, then we did the job and then it was pure carnage the last game.
"I’m sure it was a great watch for the rest of the world. I remember watching it from the stairwell in Murrayfield, praying to God, so, look, that’s what the Super Saturday means for the competition.
"It’s great that there are so many teams involved that can win it.
"I've spoken about that to the team early this week. I've been in plenty of games last game of the competition that we haven't been in with a shout.
"The position that we're in, it's very privileged and you can never take it for granted.
"What a game to be selected for and an opportunity to play for your country to win silverware.
"It can never be something that you take for granted playing for Ireland, especially on the last day of a weekend like this and playing for something as big as a Six Nations championship."
Both teams come into the game on the back of defeat, Ireland going down 23-22 in Twickenham, while Scotland lost out 31-29 to Italy.
"You approach every game like you want to win it, which is no different this weekend for either of us," said the 34-year-old Munster back row.
"Off the back of a loss for both of us that you know you try and focus the mind on certain things and try to make improvements and you always want your next performance to be a winning one so I’m sure we’re both in the same camp in that department.
"I’m sure they are [a dangerous animal] but we’re in the same boat this week.
"We’re certainly hurting from last week with certain aspects of the performance and losing, we don’t want to lose, neither to do Scotland so we’re in the same boat."
