About Six Nations 2027: Scotland v Ireland

Scotland host Ireland at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Friday 5 March, a Six Nations 2027 heavyweight clash under the Edinburgh lights with a big Irish travelling support expected. Murrayfield sits just west of the centre, an easy tram ride from Princes Street, so a match day pairs naturally with the Old Town, the castle and Edinburgh's pubs and restaurants.

A Six Nations Saturday brings a huge crowd and a brilliant atmosphere to the capital, and rooms fill quickly. Stay central for the walk back into town after the game, and book early for the best choice. The compact centre keeps restaurants, bars and the Royal Mile within walking distance of your base.

History

Scotland and Ireland have contested this fixture since the nineteenth century, a fault line of the championship that runs back through the Home Nations, Five Nations and Six Nations eras alike. Their modern meetings are staged at Murrayfield, which opened in 1925 and is the largest stadium in Scotland, holding around 67,000 in the west of Edinburgh.

A short tram or train ride from Princes Street, the ground sits close enough to the centre that supporters can walk back into the Old Town after the final whistle. Ireland, fielding a single team drawn from both the Republic and Northern Ireland, travel in large numbers, and their supporters give the capital a festival feel across the match weekend.

Scheduled as a Friday-night fixture under the floodlights, this clash brings an extra charge to Murrayfield, the anthems and the roar rolling out across the stands. Edinburgh's compact heart keeps its pubs, restaurants and the Royal Mile within an easy stroll of your base.
