The Stade de France is the venue for an epic showdown between two Six Nations rivals, who are both still vying to progress through to the quarter-finals.
No1-ranked Ireland are the huge favourites to advance as Pool B winners with a fourth victory this evening, setting up a mammoth last-eight showdown with New Zealand back in Paris on October 14.
Scotland, meanwhile, must win with a bonus point and ensure that their opponents do not salvage a losing bonus point in the process to go through as runners-up behind South Africa, who are watching with keen interest with their last group game now played.
There is even a scenario whereby both teams could go through – if Scotland win by 21 points or more, which would see them top the pool ahead of Ireland and send the defending champion Springboks home early.
