Ireland pulled away from Scotland in a pulsating Six Nations Triple Crown decider to keep their championship hopes alive and end the Scots’ trophy hopes.
In a breathless and full-blooded Dublin encounter, Ireland held off a spirited second-half surge from Scotland to deny Gregor Townsend’s side a first Triple Crown since 1990 and a possible first championship since 1999.
While a 12th successive loss against Ireland ended Scotland’s ambitions, the bonus-point victory moves the Irish three points clear of holders France, who face England in Paris in Saturday’s Six Nations finale (20:10 GMT).
