There’s a Triple Crown and potentially the Six Nations title on the line in Dublin
Watch Ireland v Scotland as the two sides get Six Nations Super Saturday off to a spectacular start in Dublin.
The winner of this game will not only claim the Triple Crown but a shot at the Six Nations 2026 title. They’ll have a nervous few hours waiting for France to play England later on tonight, but if Les Bleus slip up in Paris, one of these sides could be lifting the trophy.
Scotland are two points ahead in the championship table, and come into the match off the back of an already-legendary 50-40 win over France. But Ireland will be well aware they haven’t lost to the visitors since 2017, so will fancy their chances of victory at the Aviva Stadium this Super Saturday.
The match kicks off at 2.10pm GMT, and you can watch Scotland v France live streams for free in the UK, Ireland and France – keep reading to find out how to tune in wherever you are in the world.
