Scotland and Ireland have seen plenty of animosity in their contests in recent years. Yet the Scots have not won since 2017, while they haven’t been victorious in Dublin since 2010. Can such a one-sided fixture truly be a rivalry, or do the two sides simply not like each other?

Gordon D’Arcy and John O’Sullivan join host Nathan Johns to preview this weekend’s Six Nations title showdown.
