For Ireland, the opportunity of sealing a Triple Crown is a familiar one — Andy Farrell's men have done it three times in the last four years. And they'll be especially confident of doing so again with the game taking place at their Dublin fortress.
Although it's certainly true that they've been far from their best this year, winning ugly may be just what Ireland need with the 2027 World Cup looming large on the horizon.
For Scotland, it's the first time they've gone into the final weekend of a Six Nations (since Italy made it a sextet in 2000) with a chance of winning the whole caboodle, and they've not even claimed a Triple Crown in 36 years. But Gregor Townsend's perennial nearly men have improved massively since their opening weekend loss in Rome.
That said, to record a first victory against this foe for nine years they'll have to do so without injured second rows Gregor Brown and Scott Cummings, both of whom have been particularly impressive throughout this campaign.
Whoever wins this one will have to sit and wait patiently to see if France can overcome England later in the day. Here's how to watch Ireland vs Scotland in the Six Nations 2026 online and on TV today — including free streaming options.
