Ireland vs Scotland: Rugby World Cup - LIVE!

Everyone is looking forward to the Rugby World Cup game happening today in Paris between two well-known Six Nations opponents at the Stade de France. There's a lot at stake, with a place in the quarter-finals on offer. The Irish team are currently in second place in Pool B with three wins already under their belt, including a thrilling match against the reigning champions, South Africa. If they win again tonight, they'll secure their spot in the quarter-finals as group winners, retaining their position as the world's top-ranked Test side.

Scotland is in a critical situation, where they must win with a bonus point. This will prevent Ireland from getting any points to secure their position in the knockout stages, which would be a huge loss for their coach, Andy Farrell. In the event that Scotland manages to defeat their opponent by 21 or more points, both teams will advance to the knockout stage. However, any form of collusion between the teams is highly unlikely.

Farrell has enlisted Dan Sheehan and Iain Henderson for tonight's match, while Gregor Townsend, on the other hand, welcomes back captain Jamie Ritchie from injury. Additionally, Townsend made the unexpected decision to make Ali Price the starting scrum-half. For live updates on the Ireland vs. Scotland match, check out Standard Sport's live blog below!
