What channel is Ireland vs Scotland? Live stream TV and kick off details for Rugby World Cup showdown

Scotland are looking to make it three wins on the bounce when they take on Ireland in their final World Cup Pool B game as they aim to defy the odds to reach the last eight in France.

Gregor Townsend's men have a spring in their step following comfortable back-to-back Pool B wins over Tonga and Romania and will round off their group stage fixtures against Andy Farrell's Irish but they have to with a bonus point, or by denying their opponents a losing bonus, to progress.

The Irish top the world rankings and are considered favourites for the trophy after their victory over defending champions South Africa. Scotland have failed to beat Ireland in their last eight attempts but with the Scots having to win with a bonus point, or by denying their opponents a losing bonus, Townsend and his players will give blood, sweat and tears in the hope of sending shockwaves through the tournament inside the Stade de France. Only a Scotland win by an unlikely 21 points or more, with Ireland collecting a single losing bonus point, would take both sides through at the expense of holders South Africa.
