Ireland's World Cup dreams ended by French comeback | Instant reaction

Neil Treacy and Bernard Jackman and joined by former Scotland international Rory Lawson on this week's RTÉ Rugby podcast, as we look ahead to Saturday's Triple Crown decider.

We look back on Scotland's sensational 50-40 win against France last weekend, which has blown the competition open and given both sides an outside chance of winning the championship this weekend.

Rory brings us up to speed on how Scotland have flipped their fortunes around after their opening round defeat to Italy, where there had been calls for head coach Gregor Townsend to be sacked.

The panel preview Saturday's final round at Aviva Stadium, where Ireland will be hoping to extend their 11-game winning run against the Scots and finish their own campaign off with a ninth Triple Crown since 2004.

Everything on the line in Ireland and Scotland's Triple Crown decider

Neil Treacy is joined in studio by Bernard Jackman and Brett Igoe as we look ahead to Ireland's Guinness Six Nations meeting with Wales at Aviva Stadium on Friday.

Brett has been digging through some of his favourite stats and facts through the opening three rounds of the championship, and we discuss how these paint the picture of the tournament so far.

We look at France's ability to score from both setpieces and broken play, and we also take a deep dive into Ireland's lineout, both in terms of how they are winning the ball and what they are doing with that possession.

Bernard discusses the main area of improvement Ireland need to focus on after their opening three games, while we also discuss Andy Farrell's future at Ireland, with reports linking him with Saracens after the World Cup in 2027.

Can this be a turning point ahead of a World Cup year in 2027?
