National: Rugby World Cup: Ireland v Scotland- where and when to watch it
IRELAND will play their last group game of the World Cup tournament this Saturday, October 7, against old rivals Scotland.
This game hangs on a knife edge as Any two from the three of South Africa, Ireland and Scotland can still advance to the knock-out stages, but one bonus point could be sufficient for Ireland to top the pool and advance.
A solitary bonus point would secure Ireland a place in the quarter-finals provided they prevented Scotland from securing a try-scoring bonus point.
The game will take place in the Stade de France in Paris, with huge crowds expected again.
