Follow along as Andy Farrell’s side take on Scotland at the Aviva Stadium knowing victory would secure back-to-back championships
A view of the big screen in the Aviva Stadium ahead of Ireland's Six Nations clash with Scotland. Photograph: Ben Brady/InphoBoth Scotland and Ireland would have dreamed of it being the final leg of a shot at the Grand Slam and, accordingly, they each have what-might-have-been narratives from the 2024 Guinness Six Nations, up to and including decidedly deflating defeats just a week ago.There is plenty of pre-match reading for you to get through.
On the bench, the 6-2 split is gone with Garry Ringrose back on the bench. Ciarán Frawley hasn’t made it through his own HIA process, so Harry Byrne is promoted to the bench. Iain Henderson misses out given the abandoning of the 6-2. For Ireland, the equation is simple. Win, and the title is theirs, even after last weekend’s defeat to England at Twickenham.
