We’ve been v poor, linespeed more like linesloth, no protection of the carrier at the breakdown and frankly we look ill-prepared and off the pace. Ireland are not doing anything we haven’t seen from them before yet they are streets ahead of us

Reece Hodge cited.
Very impressed by Larmour in that half. Playing well. Hogg’s got the intent but not coming off for him. Plus missed a couple of difficultish tackles he might have made.

Ireland look quite ruthlessly efficient.

Paused the game earlier so a few minutes behind. That 4th Irish try is a horror show for Scotland. Very good by Murray, Larmour and Conway, though.

Chris Farrell is a good option for these Limerickian conditions.

This is a bit disappointing for Scotland — shame! I hope they come back from it. But Ireland are looking good. Exciting times ahead…

Thought Hogg was selfish and got isolated.

FFS Scotland. Two players enter a ruck from the side and manage to dislodge the ball, straight to an Irish player.
