Match thread #IREvSCO #M6N #6Nations #Rugby

#Scotland can win the Six Nations. I repeat, Scotland can win the Six Nations.

They'll need to repeat their outing against France and seriously thump #Ireland and England will need to beat France, but it's doable. Ireland chasing the Triple Crown though, so it'll be a contest to watch.

Commentary from Peacock: "Finn Russell's a different cat".

Peacock skipped the anthems for ads.

:o(

We are kicked-off, up and running.

That's an odd call on the scrum. Ireland make no bones about their intent and kick to touch. One recycle to three quick passes and Ireland are over in 3 minutes.

Yowser.

Really not sure on that scrum penalty.

#IREvSCO #M6N #6Nations #Rugby

Another three minutes passed, another try. And what a try for Scotland to reply with. 20 phases?

Quality rugby so far.

#IREvSCO #M6N #6Nations #Rugby

Another three minutes. Another try, Sheehan over for Ireland. At this rate we will have over 25 tries this match.

Wibble on the ball as he touches down but looks good to me.

#IREvSCO #M6N #6Nations #Rugby

Ireland disrupt the expected fourth try and clear way down field. Confusion on the lineout, Scotland try to go quick but muff it up. New lineout, Scottish aul, Ireland turn it over.

Luke Pearce who has been very good on comms today notices George Turner wobbling, stops play. HIA.

#IREvSCO #M6N #6Nations #Rugby

Incredible finish from Baloucoune to stamp some Irish dominance on this first half. Try Ireland.

#IREvSCO #M6N #6Nations #Rugby

Scotland appear to be trying to keep a very quick pace and disarm Ireland by keeping the tempo high, but it's costing them some accuracy, kicks a little too high, too far, not quite finding touch, but over the 80 I suppose it might turn into turnovers and penalties they can get a return on investment.

#IREvSCO #M6N #6Nations #Rugby

Frenetic first half, Ireland soaked almost everything Scotland threw at them

Scotland came back from a bigger gap against Wales, but - you know - that was Wales.

Scotland had a lot more accuracy in their game against France, maybe they can find some of it in the changing room at the break.

Not a done deal, but Ireland looking dominant.

#IREvSCO #M6N #6Nations #Rugby

Second half is kicked-off and we're back to the races.

#IREvSCO #M6N #6Nations #Rugby

Two errors from Scotland in the first 90 seconds.

Scrum Ireland.

#IREvSCO #M6N #6Nations #Rugby

Whoosh, Ireland turn it over again.

#IREvSCO #M6N #6Nations #Rugby

Use it please.

Use it please.

Use it please.

Use it please.

Use it please.

Use it please.

Use it please.

Use it please.

#IREvSCO #M6N #6Nations #Rugby

First real pressure from Scotland this half, building phases, Ireland off-side. Scotland to tap and go on the 5.

#IREvSCO #M6N #6Nations #Rugby

COME ON SCOTLAND

#IREvSCO #M6N #6Nations #Rugby

Ah there it is! Finn Russell through looking calm as a cucumber.

Luke Pearce just got a great eyeroll from Finn as he needed to move the conversion kick by a yard or so.

@jaz My bad, sorry! It's definitely beach rugby over there.
@jaz It sounds like Handball
@jaz A Scottish BP victory and a non-BP victory for France would win it for Scotland too
@Koochulainn @jaz also a French draw. We don’t have to want England to win!
