What channel is Ireland v Scotland Rugby World Cup 2023 match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Ireland v Scotland in a Rugby World Cup 2023 match, including TV details and more.
Pool B will end with a bang as home nations Ireland and Scotland collide.
It has been two weeks since Ireland beat South Africa in a tense affair at the Stade de France, whilst Scotland have racked up bonus point wins over Tonga and Romania in that fortnight, gearing up for their final game against Ireland.
It’s a clash where seemingly complex and unlikely permutations can suddenly become very real.
The future of both sides at this tournament rests in the balance in this game. Should Scotland beat the Irish, they’ll need to deny them a bonus point to ensure smooth qualification. And if Ireland get even two points from Scotland, they’ll guarantee top spot.
It is hard, however, to see how Scotland can get the win here, such is the strength of his Ireland side – the world’s No.1 side and reigning Grand Slam champions.
But confidence in the Scotland camp will be high after two strong performances in the lead up to this clash, with the likes of Darcy Graham, Blair Kinghorn and Finn Russell in good form.
Andy Farrell’s near strength side will miss Robbie Henshaw, but with Bundee Aki and Garry Ringrose likely at centre they’ll match Scotland’s midfield well.

Ireland v Scotland key player to watch

If Scotland are to win with a bonus point, beating Ireland at the ruck with speed and precision will be key. It’s up to Ali Price to ensure his side’s ball is quick and doesn’t hesitate when the ball is there to be used.
Quick ruck speed has become a key part of Ireland’s success, and the Scots will have to imitate that to get the better of their backline.
