Ireland begun the final day of the 2026 Six Nations in style with a thrilling, and ultimately convincing, win over Scotland in Dublin to keep their title hopes alive.
With France not in action until later, the winner at the Aviva Stadium knew they would go top of the table and put the pressure on Les Bleus ahead of their encounter with England tonight. It was Ireland who seized the opportunity by claiming a 43-21 win that means France needs three match points – either a victory or a draw with a four-try bonus point – against Steve Borthwick’s side to defend their title in this unpredictable championship.
