Ireland v Scotland: TV channel and team news for Six Nations final day

Ireland's Six Nations campaign concludes on Saturday.

The 2022 Six Nations comes to an end on Saturday, and Ireland still have an outside chance of winning the championship. If Andy Farrell's team beat Scotland, and France slip up against England, then Ireland could take home the trophy. Here's everything you need to know about Saturday's games, including kick-off times, team news and TV channel details.

Ireland v Scotland: Where is the Six Nations game being played and at what time?

The Six Nations match between Ireland and Scotland takes place on Saturday, March 19, at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. The action gets underway at 4:45 pm. In the last 10 matches between the teams, Ireland have won nine times, and haven't lost a Six Nations game to the Scots since 2017. Scotland haven't won a Six Nations match in Dublin since 1998. Ireland come into the game after a 32-15 win over England at Twickenham last Saturday. Farrell's team did not perform to their best level in the match, despite playing for most of the game against 14 players following Charlie Ewels' red card after 82 seconds. Ireland, however, still have an outside chance of winning the Six Nations on Saturday.
