Scotland goes to the side where they have 2 attackers against 5 defenders, Beirne turns them over again but they had a penalty advantage.

Scotty again had numbers but Tuipolotu carries into contact instead of feeding Jones.

That was really weak initial defense from Scotland ….they were on the halfline

Yeah Scotty will have to find a way to shut Ireland down if they want a hope here.


They get a try back now, Darge over. Great sustained pressure. Now they need to tighten up and not let Ireland in again.

Balacoune guilty there of getting drawn in by a man already covered. 26-21

Well done finally but there was a huge overlap in that second to last movement.

Jones knocks it off the kickoff. Precisely what you don't want.

Brilliant offloading Ireland, and O'Brien in. Scotland's not gonna pull this one back. All started from a charged down boxie followed by a missed Russell touch.

That kick by Russell which didn’t find touch just had the feel of being a big mistake.

Straight running right to the line - maybe our constantly crabbing players can learn something.

McCloskey and the Italian 12 looking like the best in the game

Beirne not being up for MOTM is ridiculous. Another lock fetching the shit out of it.

Good game, Ireland starting to find form despite their players aging. Starting to become a contender for WC

Somebody has to come up with some new close to the line tactics…how about one man screaming across the back at pace…this forward stuff is so toothless

Scotland will be regretting their poor effort against Italy in round 1 I'm sure. Need to be switched on in every game.

Ireland's been pretty good at taking it wide at the right time - Scotland not at all. Meanwhile Tuipolotu drops it and Ireland finishes wide. Tuipolotu has had a very average game.

Anyway, fine game of rugby, impressive from Ireland.

Hopefully that social butterfly Plummie has finished entertaining guests by then. Enjoy, Moz.
