Scotland vs Ireland Six Nations 2023 Live Stream: Preview
Scotland take on Ireland on Saturday for the Centenary Quaich at Murrayfield, with a win for the visitors putting them just one step away from the Grand Slam.
Today’s hosts lost the final time out 32-21 in Paris, but Scotland would always struggle to maintain their winning record after France opened up a 19-point lead after just 20 minutes. Two tries from Huw Jones and one from Finn Russell gave Gregor Townsend’s side hope for a famous comeback, but Fickou put France’s game beyond doubt with a try just a minute from time, which Thomas Ramos converted for good measure.
Ireland have had no such trouble keeping their 100% Six Nations record, although Italy gave them a bit of a scare before finally succumbing 34-20 in Rome two weeks ago. Andy Farrell’s side missed several key players through injury, resulting in a somewhat disjointed performance, but tries from Ryan, Keenan, Aki and a double from Hansen in the second half avoided disruption. Another win here will put them just 80 minutes away from glory.
Scotland vs Ireland kicks off at 3pm GMT / 10am EST today, Sunday 12 March, at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. Make sure you know how to watch a live stream of the Six Nations 2023 between Scotland and Ireland.
