Saturday's Ireland vs Scotland live stream begins the final round of fixtures in the 2026 Six Nations. Both Andy Farrell and Gregor Townsend know that nothing but a win will be good enough to put the pressure on table toppers France later in the day, while the winner will secure the Triple Crown.
Farrell's hosts know a bonus-point victory is essential if they are to win the title for the first time since 2024, when they beat today's opponents 17-13 in Dublin. The head coach has said it's "the type of pressure" they want, having responded impressively to a wide defeat on opening night against France. They're also going for a third Triple Crown – contested between the four Home Nations – in a row.
Level with France on 16 points, Scotland have the easier title-winning task. A bonus point victory will be enough if France don't register their own win with extras in the final game of the tournament on Saturday evening, and will secure a first Tartan championship since 1999. A win of any kind means a first Triple Crown for 36 years, but they haven't beaten Ireland since 2017. Yet last weekend's stellar 50-40 victory over France means confidence is high, with Darcy Graham and Kyle Steyn in devastating form on the wings
