Check out how to watch Ireland v Scotland in a Six Nations 2024 match, including TV details and more.
Ireland can clinch a second successive Six Nations title as they host Scotland in the final round of fixtures.
Andy Farrell’s side were beaten 23-22 by England at Twickenham on Saturday, after a Marcus Smith drop-goal in the dying moments.
Ireland had won their first three fixtures and were on course for a Grand Slam, but do remain top with an impressive points difference of +80.
Scotland suffered a disappointing 31-29 defeat against Italy, as the hosts secured their first home Six Nations victory in 11 years.
It’s likely to be a defeat that is more psychologically damaging than anything, especially as it means they’re no longer in prime position to capitalise on Ireland’s slip against England.
They can, however, leave Dublin with a very important Triple Crown victory.
In team news, Ireland are waiting to hear on the status of both Calvin Nash and Ciarán Frawley after they both went off injured against England. Garry Ringrose is expected to return to the side as a substitute.
Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has released Glen Young and Hamish Watson back to Edinburgh, along with Jamie Bhatti returning to Glasgow Warriors – with Glasgow trio Ally Miller, Max Williamson and Alex Samuel coming into the team.

Ireland v Scotland key player to watch
Bundee Aki (Ireland)
The centre has consistently been Ireland’s most dangerous threat on both sides of the ball this tournament, and even performed impressively in Ireland’s loss at Twickenham.
Expect the Connacht man to blow several holes in Scotland in both attack and defence en route to a likely title win.
Ireland v Scotland prediction
A shock loss to Steve Borthwick’s side will no doubt smarten Farrell’s men up ahead of this weekend. They’ll be itching to retain their title emphatically and in style in front of a home crowd.
Scotland have been inconsistent all tournament and have never been more vulnerable than they are entering this final round. Add on the fact they have not won in Dublin since a 23-20 Six Nations triumph in 2010 and they may be in for a rough afternoon.
