Scotland v Ireland date, kick-off time, team news, TV and stream information, betting odds and more for the Six Nations clash

Ireland face Scotland in their penultimate Six Nations game as their hopes of winning the Grand Slam remain very much alive.

Andy Farrell's men have beaten all before them so far this year, with an opening day 34-10 victory over Wales in Cardiff coming ahead of a 32-19 win against France in Dublin before they defeated Italy 34-20 in Rome.

Scotland have also been in good form this campaign, beating England at Twickenham and Wales at Murrayfield before a 32-21 defeat to France in Paris last time out.

Johnny Sexton is among several big names expected to return for Ireland in Edinburgh.

Sexton has been included in a 37-man training squad for the penultimate round of the Championship as Andy Farrell’s men step up their push for the Grand Slam.

The 37-year-old fly-half is expected to come in for Ross Byrne, who started the 34-20 victory over Italy, after struggling with a groin injury.

Scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park, prop Tadhg Furlong and centre Robbie Henshaw are also present following spells in the treatment room.

Former Ireland player Sean O'Brien: "They’ve great leaders in their environment. Every box is ticked before it happens. They’re prepared mentally for anything that is thrown at them.

"And that is something Andy Farrell and Paul and Simon (Easterby) have instilled in the guys as well.

"It’s nice to have everything rosy on match-day, but if it doesn’t happen that way, so be it and you just rock on and get on with it. They’re in a great place that way in terms of their mind-set."
