Follow reaction as Ireland beat Scotland 26-5 in Dublin to win a first Triple Crown for four years and keep their Six Nations title hopes alive in Dublin.

Andy Farrell’s men now require France to slip up against England in Paris this evening if they are to lift the trophy.

The Irish led 14-5 at half-time after tries from Dan Sheehan and Cian Healy, with Pierre Schoeman responding for Scotland.

Further tries after the break from Josh van der Flier and Conor Murray - in the last action of the match - gave the hosts a comfortable victory.

It meant that Ireland earned a first Triple Crown since 2018 and only their 12th in the championship’s 139-year history. Should England overturn France in Paris later this evening, the title will be theirs too.
