The Six Nations Championship is an annual international men’s rugby union competition between the teams of England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. The current champions are England, who won the 2020 tournament.
Scotland vs Ireland, 3pm
Prediction:
Ireland win @8/11
Ireland -2.0 @1/1
If the history books are anything to go by, then Scotland vs Ireland should be fairly predictable.
Ireland have won 16 of their last 19 Championship meetings, the last five in all competitions, and scored three or more tries in six of the last seven. The Centenary Quaich is part of the furniture in Dublin.
But there is a reason the legendary Ireland captain – and now forwards coach – Paul O’Connell has labelled this Scotland side as the best he has seen in an almost 20-year international career. And there is a reason why captain Johnny Sexton has warned his teammates they must be at their very best to stand a chance of leaving Edinburgh with the points.
Match Facts
Ireland have lost just three of their last 19 games against Scotland in the Six Nations winning 16, with each of those defeats coming by a margin of five points or fewer.
Scotland have won two of their last four home games against Ireland in the Six Nations losing 2, after winning only one of the previous six clashes between the sides at BT Murrayfield.
