It's a massive night in the French capital for Gregor Townsend and his men as they look to stay in the Rugby World Cup. 27 days ago Scotland fell to defeat against defending champions South Africa and they're about to kick off their final Pool B game against one of the tournament's favourites in Andy Farrell's sensational Ireland side.

It's hard to understate just how massive this game is for Scotland. Arguably the biggest game of Gregor Townsend's era and it isn't even a winner-takes-all encounter.

There's nothing quite like rallying around the national team when a game is as keenly poised and simply important as this, is there?

Gregor Townsend's men have a spring in their step following comfortable back-to-back Pool B wins over Tonga and Romania and will round off their group stage fixtures against Ireland but they have to with a bonus point, or by denying their opponents a losing bonus, to progress.
