Scotland v Ireland

Roman O'Gara getting tetchy on the pre-game BBC pundits sofa telling Gabby Logan that she is obsessed with players' ages. A good thing that Martin Johnson is there to calm it all down.
Didn't catch that but thought the bit I did see with ROG he was great value.
Butler in the crowd, Hoy bringing the ball on. MN5 will need several boxes of tissues.
-
Big cheers for Sir Chris Hoy who has terminal cancer bringing on the match ball.
-
Murrayfield is a great stadium and always puts on a show. Let's hope the game itself lives up to that.
-
All Ireland at the start and they have a penalty 5m out.
-
Kicked out for the lineout. Big call.
-
Nash on own out wide. And he's in. 5-0 to the visitors.
-
Conversation good.
Scotland 0 Ireland 7 after 7 minutes.
-
Just dumb by Matt Fagerson.

Player had stopped, offside, a couple of metres away from the ball catcher. Textbook for what they're supposed to be clamping down on. We constantly say players should take the contact if the ref won't call it, then when they do, we say it's dumb?
-
12 minutes in and it's all been Ireland.
-
The crowd's gone very quiet.
-
Penalty try?
-
They are looking at it.
-
Andrew Cotter apologises for not knowing player X wears contact lenses or not. I doubt other commentators would even think about it.
Best around at the moment.
-
Nash probably wasn't going to get it because of the bounce but he was needlessly pushed in the back.
-
YC coming.
-
Van der Merwe off. A penalty, not a penalty try.
The right calls for me.
-
@Victor-Meldrew What broadcaster? I've just started streaming from BBC.

Cotter asking Nigel Owens the right questions too.
