Scotland 24/ 27 Ireland
(Final Score)
Scotland host Ireland this afternoon at Murrayfield in Edinburgh.
Kick off at 17:00 (15:00 GMT).
This will be Scotland’s first test in 4 weeks while Ireland played their last 6 Nations game 2 weeks ago. Can Scotland bounce back from the agony of a narrow defeat at home to Wales in a game they should have won. Or will Ireland have picked up too much confidence from their big win away against Italy in their last game.

Russell converts his own try
Sloppy play by Scotland knocking on midway between their 22 and 10m. Scrum Ireland
Scrum needs to be reset
Big scrum Scotland and finally ref picks up Healy and blows penalty for Scotland, kicked out just outside Ireland 22
Poor lineout by Scotland, take a short one through it long and CJ steals it now Ireland get a penalty , kickable
Over by Sexton. Scotland do well to win the kick off back just outside Ireland 22 then conceed a penalty for holding on
Ireland penalized at lineout for Berne closing the gap in the lineout
Pushed far right by Russell
Poor play by Price going offside at the ruck to give Ireland a chance to extend their lead with the clock in the red!
Sexton slots the penalty and it’s halftime. Very sloppy half, plenty of mistakes on both sides.
Possesion Scotland 42/58 Ireland
Russell restarts the 2nd half.
After good play Scotland eventually give a penalty away at the breakdown, Gray in at the side. Lineout to Ireland not far outside Scotland 22.

After 9 phases, penalty to Ireland against Ritchie at the breakdown, kickable
Penalty to Scotland defending the breakdown, kickable but Russell goes for touch and kicks it too far from Ireland 10m line to touch in goal!
Warren Gatland at the game, if this is being seen as a trial for the number 10s for the Lions then Sexton is winning it without doing much.
