Ireland beat Scotland to win Triple Crown but title dream relies on France v England

Ireland have beaten Scotland 26-5 in Dublin to claim the Triple Crown and keep alive their hopes of winning the Six Nations title.

It’s a bonus-point victory which takes them three points clear of France at the top of the table with one match left to play in this year’s Championship. They now need England to do them a favour by beating Les Bleus in Paris, where the final Super Saturday match kicks off at 8pm. That would see Andy Farrell’s men crowned as champions.

They outscored the Scots by four tries to one, with forwards Dan Sheehan, Cian Healy and Josh van der Flier crossing, ahead of replacement scrum-half Conor Murray securing the bonus point in the final play.
