Ireland have named an unchanged starting XV as they attempt to bounce back from last week's defeat and secure the win they need to secure the Six Nations title. Meanwhile, Scotland have made two changes from the side that lost in Rome as they attempt to end their campaign on a high with an upset win in Dublin.
Ireland vs Scotland 2024 Six Nations is free to watch, and from anywhere in the world by using a VPN, if you're away from home. The match kicks off today at 4.45pm GMT / 12.45 am ET / and 3.45am AEDT on Sunday morning.
Ireland's last-minute drop goal-loss to England may have been a cruel ending for Andy Farrell’s side but they were far from their best and will want to put things right in front of an expectant home crowd in Dublin. They remain the favorites to win the Six Nations title. Even a draw would be enough to finish top of the table.
The Scots can still win the Triple Crown after securing victories over England and Wales. Despite their searing loss to Italy, they have a squad capable of causing an upset. Gregor Townsend will need the likes of Finn Russell, Duhan van der Merwe and Kyle Rowe to be at their very best.
