    A very similar start to Ireland's in Murrayfield last year which took the sting out of Scotland.

    Scottish optimism - if it was there at all - lasted less than three minutes.

    Ireland 7-0 Scotland

    BBC Sport NI senior journalist at Aviva Stadium

    Ireland's scrum has been problematic in recent weeks, but they've a leg up already.

    Caelan Doris spoke about the importance of a fast start in the build-up and Jamie Osborne was as likely as anyone to deliver it.

    His fourth try of the tournament.

    Converted Try - Ireland 7-0 Scotlandpublished at 3 mins

    Jamie Osborne (con Crowley)

    Lift off in Dublin!

    Robert Baloucoune was close off the back off the line out but is brought down.

    There's a nice pass from Doris to tee up Jamie Osborne, who sprints under the posts.

    Crowley converts, and that's the perfect start.

    Huge.

    It was the Scottish put in but the Ireland scrum, which has come under fire in this tournament, comes out on top to win the penalty.

    Crowley pops it into the corner.

    Ireland 0-0 Scotland

    Ireland secured the ball from the White's kick and worked it through the hands.

    There's an injection of pace from Jack Crowley before he's chopped down just outside the 22, and Scotland manage to turn it over to win the scrum.

    A lively start.

    Just 80 minutes until we find out the destination of the Triple Crown.

    Just eight hours until we find out the destination of the Six Nations.

    This is huge. Let's go!

    Whether Scotland do it or not depends on accuracy.

    Let's go for a narrow Scotland win...

    Be honest, after the opening round of matches who thought Scotland and France would be in this position?

    I'll hold my hands up, I didn't think so.

    Ireland had just been swatted aside like an annoying fly by France, and Scotland fell victim to the rain in Rome.

    Yet, here we are with a Triple Crown and maybe even a title on the line.

    In the words of Paul Rudd, "Hey, look at us...".

    That's set the tone nicely.

    Let's hope the action on the pitch lives up to it.

    Nothing like a bit of optimism, Al!

    The sun's shining and the birds are singing. What could go wrong?

    As a Scotland fan with a lot of bad memories Vs Ireland I have a bad feeling about this.

    As expected that was some outing for Flower of Scotland.

    It's time for the anthems.

    First up, it's Scotland and this could be as loud as you'll hear from an away team in Dublin.

    Irish president Catherine Connolly is being presented to the players ahead of the game.

    Then, it'll be time for the anthems, which should be pretty loud.

    France will convincingly beat England to take the title, Scotland are up for this, nobody saw them beat France, but Ireland will be a cracking contest, all to play for,it’s going to be intense.

    Irish supporter here.. hoping for a great match... results elsewhere sadly unlikely to change destiny. Discipline key and Finn Russell's spot kicks may make the difference.

    Here come the teams in Dublin.

    The Aviva Stadium is bouncing.

    Both sets of players looked relaxed as they met in the tunnel before the game. Not much on the line, lads.

    I have to say, I'm very excited for this one.

    Two teams who both know they have to go for it for not only the Triple Crown but possibly even the title.

    Without jinxing it, it should make for a great game.

    Then, for the winner, all attentions will turn to *gulps* cheering on England (for one day and one day only...) in Paris.

    It's all rather exciting, isn't it?
