Odd refereeing, to say the least. No grounding for the first Irish try, dubious onside for the second, blatant offside before the incident which brought the red card ...

Except they all thought there was a grounding. They checked offside for diving on ball once it went back over line and possible offside before Balbreary decided to upend Allison onto his neck is irrelevant to the action.

As I predicted, rotation, rotation, rotation. This, unfortunately, means that some of the few players who stood out in the first game, have now been named on the bench, although the backline includes some of the best players (at 11-15). But, Gregory at fullback? Has he ever played there?
Scotland looked good in their first game against South Africa (big and physical), despite their loss, so it's probably going to be a tough game.
