Ireland host Scotland in the opening round of the Six Nations Championship. Ireland finished third in last season's Six Nations with three wins, while Scotland ended fifth with a single victory and a draw. When these sides met Ireland claimed a 22-13 away win. These sides were also in the same pool at the recent 2019 Rugby World Cup, with Ireland getting knocked out in the quarter-finals against New Zealand, while Scotland failed to get out of the group. The World Cup encounter ended Ireland 27-3 Scotland.
