Scotland 17 Ireland 24 with 19 minutes to go.

Not saying this is a slow game, but for the last two minutes the commentary team have been wanking about the Scottish team doctor.

Classic. "Don't be scared Johnny I won't come back on"

Ref trying to ask sexton to talk to his team at a penalty.

Watson scores.

Ref lost his whistle and it got broken. Ha!

Gregor Townsend was so nonchalant after the Watson try, he makes Graham Henry look over-animated.

Bones

Fucken hell Scotland. Basic.

sparky

Sexton with his 5th penalty kick. 24-27 with three minutes to play.

Bones

Deserved win by Ireland. Scotland with no idea how to win, kicking the ball away with uncontested kicks 2-3 times in the last two minutes.

sparky

All over. Ireland win. 24-27. Terrible Scottish game management in the last five minutes.

So just Wales and France in it now

I was a fan of Lowe at the Chiefs but it's fair to say International is a step too far for him. Other kiwis Gibson-Park, Maitland and Berghan were serviceable.

Russell and the Scottish lineout were fairly shocking, Ireland weren't great but deserved to win. I know Sexton isn't much loved globally but I would take him over Russell for the Lions any day.

Ferners of a delicate disposition sit down.

I thought Poite refereed very well.

Agreed

Last kick was superb.

Come on Scotland, we know you were a bunch of fluffybunnies at the last world cup but that was a temporary thing unlike Ireland, let's see you show you've stepped up a level.

Sadly these lines are right

All too familiar. Scotland, as ever, dangerous when expectation is low, are frustrated time and again when it creeps up high... For all the excitement of Twickenham in round one, there Scotland still reside, in that little niche of theirs just above Italy

That pretty French try should have been wiped for.offside. the backs who caught the ball were well inside the 10 before the ball crossed the 15m mark.

@mariner4life I thought I got schooled on here a year or two ago that you can go as soon as it's thrown if you're the receiver? Something like that.

I would need to see that in the laws
