Ireland vs Scotland, Six Nations 2020

[Steven Harris]

@sparky Scotland have had their chances, just not good enough to take them ..

[sparky]

Scotland lively, but giving away too many penalties and conceding too many turnovers.

First points of the Second Half a Sexton penalty. Ireland 13 Scotland 6 after 45 minutes.

[sparky]

Fantastic try by Hogg. Up to the TMO. Did he lose it putting it down? Yes. No try. The Scottish skipper will have nightmares about failing to put the ball down there.

[sparky]

Hastings with his third penalty. 13-9

[Victor Meldrew]

Scotland give away stupid penalties on attack and continue to grow their reputation as one of the most entertaining but frustrating teams to play in the 6Ns,

[sparky]

56 minutes. Sexton with another penalty chance. Over. 16-9.

Scotland's missed chances looking costly now.

[sparky]

Some great improvisation by Henshaw. Scotland barely hanging on now. About 20 to go.

[sparky]

Saffa-Paddy Hooker Rob Herring is having a good game. Into everything.

[sparky]

Scotland giving away another breakdown penalty. They've been bullied there.

[sparky]

22 tackles from Scottish Lock Jonny Grey.

[sparky]

Adam Hastings with a penalty kick. Flags up.

16-12 with 14 minutes to go. Game of the weekend this.

[sparky]

Conway taken out by Sam Johnson. Silly penalty to give away.

Sexton with the kick. 7 minutes to go. Over. 19-12 to Ireland.

Way better than the Wales-Itie snorefest scorefest for sure.

But a frustrating game to watch so far - keep expecting it to explode but it never does.

[sparky]

Scotland deep on attack with five to go.

..and give away another penalty on the Irish tryline.

[sparky]

Scotland with all the pressure. Ireland wall working very, very hard. O'mahony wins the penalty.

[sparky]

Soft penalties have cost Scotland this game.

[sparky]

CJ Stander named Man of the Match.

[sparky]

Not much in this at all. Ireland's defence and that little bit more Test experience sees them home.

[sparky]

Final scrum. Irish ball. Win it. Ball kicked out.

Game over. Ireland 19 Scotland 12

Scotland gave 110% but poor composure, including their skipper blowing a try, cost them dear.

Mixed bag from Ireland, but they will take the win, flush the dunny and move on to Wales next week.
