Scotland v Ireland

[Victor Meldrew]

17-5. McVan der Merve scores in the corner (great finish)

[Tim]

Brilliant from Van der Merwe, because Scotland had no pattern or plan.

[Tim]

Not often that you see kicks bounce twice before being caught that many times.

[Tim]

Was that Gabby Logan at halftime? Awful.

[sparky]

A difficult first half for Scotland. They will be relieved that their deficit on the scoreline isn't more.

Yeah was bizarre the stats weren't more telling, Scotland making Ireland's tackles plus a third and most of those being under pressure is going to tell mentally and physically though.

[Tim]

Should kick for the corner. Can't be doing it in threes.

[sparky]

Scotland get the first score of the second half. A penalty after a bit of quick ruck ball.

Scotland 8 Ireland 17.

Kinghorn you mong!

[sparky]

Kinghorn fails to release Van Der M.

[sparky]

Great attack, but blew the score. School boy stuff.

Be like Jordan not giving it to Clarke....

50/50 call this one, dollars to donuts it would be a penalty if the jerseys were reversed though.

[sparky]

Not an intentional mock on for me.

[Tim]

Had already passed it, so penalty.

[sparky]

Still a great attack chance for Scotland. They've started the 2nd half well.

George Bridge would have passed that...

[Bones]

Ireland right on the line, don't release and drag the player over the line. How is that not a yellow card? Close to a penalty try

[sparky]

Scotland go for the posts again.

[sparky]

Kick good. Scotland 11 Ireland 17.

[sparky]

Ireland have gone to sleep here.
