What time and TV channel is Scotland v Ireland on today in the Six Nations

Ireland are in Edinburgh this afternoon as they look to build on a positive performance against Italy last time out in the Six Nations.

Andy Farrell's side face a Scottish side nursing their wounds after surprise loss to Wales halted the momentum of an historic win over England.

Last year Farrell's men edged an attritional affair at the Aviva Stadium, and now face a big challenge away from home against Gregor Townsend's charges.

But Ireland come into this one after a disappointing start to the campaign as they fell to defeat against the Welsh on the opening day, before coming just short against the French in Dublin.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of the big game:

Where and when is it?

The match takes place at Murrayfield in Edinburgh on Sunday, March 14.

What time is kick-off?

The action gets underway at 3 pm Irish time.

What channel is it on?

Virgin Media 1 will show the action live.

You can also follow live updates on the Irish Mirror's live blog of the match.
