Scotland v Ireland

[sparky]

All Ireland at the start and they have a penalty 5m out.

[sparky]

Kicked out for the lineout. Big call.

[sparky]

Nash on own out wide. And he's in. 5-0 to the visitors.

[sparky]

Conversation good.

Scotland 0 Ireland 7 after 7 minutes.

[sparky]

Just dumb by Matt Fagerson.

[Bones]

Doleman having a shitter so far.

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?

[sparky]

12 minutes in and it's all been Ireland.

[sparky]

The crowd's gone very quiet.

[sparky]

Penalty try?

[sparky]

They are looking at it.

[Victor Meldrew]

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.

[sparky]

Nash probably wasn't going to get it because of the bounce but he was needlessly pushed in the back.

[sparky]

YC coming.

[sparky]

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.

Andrew Cotter is on my BBC feed.

Aki was separated from the maul and ahead of most Irish players. Should be penalised.

[sparky]

Held up. But Aki was ahead of the maul.

Not given.
