Ireland retain the Six Nations by beating Scotland in Dublin, a result that ends England's hopes of snatching the title.
Ireland retained the Six Nations title as they overcame a heroic defensive effort by Scotland in Dublin.
Andrew Porter crossed to provide Ireland with clear daylight before Huw Jones gave Scotland late hope. England ended Ireland's bid to become the first Six Nations team to win back-to-back Grand Slams at Twickenham last week, but by retaining the championship Andy Farrell's side reaffirm their status as the northern hemisphere's leading team.Having been humbled by England last week, Ireland came into Saturday's match in Dublin under increased pressure as they looked to clinch their sixth Six Nations title knowing a win or draw would be enough to finish the job.
