Ireland secured a vital victory over Scotland in a thrilling Six Nations Triple Crown decider, keeping their championship aspirations alive while ending Scotland's hopes of claiming the trophy.
In a high-intensity and fiercely contested match in Dublin, Ireland managed to withstand a determined second-half effort from Scotland, preventing Gregor Townsend's team from winning their first Triple Crown since 1990 and potentially their first championship since 1999.
Scotland's defeat marked their 12th consecutive loss against Ireland, effectively ending their ambitions. Meanwhile, Ireland's bonus-point win places them three points ahead of the current champions France, who are set to play England in Paris on Saturday in the Six Nations finale (20:10 GMT).
