FT: Scotland 26-19 Ireland
What a dramatic ending to their 2025 Women's Six Nations campaigns for Scotland and Ireland as the hosts secure the victory with the last play of the game.
An incredible effort from Scotland, but Ireland will surely feel that they left points out there.
You can read Andy Burke's match report here, and don't forget you can follow along with the small matter of the Grand Slam decider between England and too.
From here, though, thanks for ing us for that pulsating game of rugby! Take care and and goodbye for now!

Bryan Easson on bouncing back after last week's loss: "I think we've had a couple of difficult performances during the Six Nations but we did a review last week after the England game and as soon as the game was finished, we drew a line under it.
"As soon as we got off the flight last week, it was all about this week.

What a match in Edinburgh and what a finish! Scotland ensure that they will not receive the dreaded Wooden Spoon with a bonus point win and, while Ireland will still finish third with a losing bonus point, they will be disappointed as they certainly left points out there.

Scotland 19-19 Ireland
Scotland on the attack midway inside the Irish half and it is a penalty to the hosts. It is within kicking range but their kicker Helen Nelson is still in the bin so Lisa Thompson knocks it into the corner.
The clock is almost in the red. This is for the match!

Emily Lane (con O'Brien)
The pressure finally tells as Ireland breach the home defence. It is the replacement scrum half Emily Lane who jinks over from close range and Dannah O'Brien adds the extras.
We are level again with seven to go at The Hive! We'll have a dramatic finish here in Edinburgh!

Scotland 19-12 Ireland
The scrums are getting a little messy here. Scotland are struggling to keep an even footing and Ireland, perhaps sensing the dominance, are too eager to engage and need to be careful not to be penalised for that.

Scotland 19-12 Ireland
Rugby is a game of inches and that piece of play proves it! A chip over the top is caught by Helen Wilson. Her momentum takes her towards the side line but the touch judge concludes that she went over the line.
Replays show just how close it was before she threw the ball back in. Ireland will look to take advantage as both sides change their entire front rows at one go!
