Ireland 43 Scotland 21: Dramatic Six Nations contest puts Irish in top spot

IRELAND broke Scotland hearts – and now must wait for a favour from England.

Andy Farrell’s side did what they needed to do in their final fixture of this thrilling Six Nations tournament.

They ran out 43-21winners in Dublin in another barnstorming clash of brilliant rugby.

And their bonus-point victory put them top of the table at the end of their campaign as they did their bit.

Now the Irish will hope they get their luck as they sit back and watch England take on France in Paris tonight.

Should England somehow win in the Stade de France, Ireland will be crowned champions.
