Ireland face Scotland in a winner-takes-all Six Nations clash that could decide both the Triple Crown and championship fate. After a disastrous 36-14 loss to France in their opener, Ireland have mounted an unlikely title challenge. Captain Caelan Doris acknowledges there's 'no second chance' as the teams prepare for Saturday's 14:10 GMT kickoff at the Aviva Stadium.

Both sides have shown remarkable resilience after rocky starts. Scotland's 18-15 defeat by Italy in Rome sparked fierce criticism, while Ireland's Twickenham record win over England came as a shock after their Paris drubbing. The Scots have since beaten England, edged Wales, and last week put 50 points on France at Murrayfield. Ireland, meanwhile, have won their last 11 meetings with Scotland, including a victory at Murrayfield last year where Doris scored.

France remain favorites for the title, needing only a bonus-point win over England to secure back-to-back championships. But Saturday's Celtic showdown carries massive stakes - Scotland chase their first Triple Crown since 1990 and first Ireland win since 2017, while Ireland hunt a fourth in five years. Doris warns his team must stop Scotland's 'varied attacking game' that produced seven tries against France. With Ireland unbeaten in 30 Six Nations home games when leading at halftime, a fast start will be crucial.
