Ireland go to the top of the Six Nations table. Drama at the end as Dave Kearney celebrates a try following a Paddy Jackson kick but the television match official does not give it. That does not stop the home fans from celebrating a dominant victory. A long tournament ahead for the Scots.

Eighty minutes on the clock. A huge roar goes up as Ireland captain Jamie Heaslip - here being denied a try by Max Evans - is announced as man of the match. A day the Leinster number eight will remember for a long time to come.

"Scotland have had a lot of possession but have not been clinical enough. Ireland will be a top, top side in this year's tournament."

Ireland fans are in good voice as the clock ticks down. We're into the last five minutes. Scotland look dejected. This is going to be a test of character how they bounce back after this. Brian O'Driscoll, on his Irish record 129th appearance, receives a standing ovation as he is replaced.

Ex-Ireland winger Denis Hickie: "The second half has been a big, big difference to the first half for Ireland. They've shown greater intensity, especially at the ruck, and have certainly stepped things up."

"Chris Henry can take a lot of the credit there for getting behind the Scotland defence. That was something we were used to seeing Sean O'Brien do.

"It was great strength and power from Rob Kearney to finish it off."

Game over. A stunning show of strength and power from Leinster full-back Rob Kearney as he produces a clever cut back before heaving himself over the line despite Scotland's best efforts to stop him. Sexton's composed kick extends the Irish lead to 22 points.

Into the final 10 minutes. This game, sadly, is not going to live long in the memory. England versus France this most certainly is not. Are Ireland bothered? Of course not. They're cruising towards a crucial opening weekend win ahead of the visit of Wales next week. Job done as far as Joe Schmidt's side is concerned.

"Jonathan Sexton looks like he is enjoying it now. He had a reasonable first half before making that stunning break at the end.

"He has built on that after the break, and is confidently moving the ball around and finding touch with his kicks."

There are lots of tired legs on both teams and there are changes on both sides. Scotland have not given up on this just yet, however, but for all their possession, they lack serious threat.

Sometimes you can't help but smile. Fly-half Jonathan Sexton enjoys the moment as Andrew Trimble scores Ireland's first try just before half-time.

"Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray's kicking has improved so much in the last few years. It is a real strength for him now.

"Ireland are now choosing to boot the ball deep down the pitch."

Just over 15 minutes left and Ireland send on Leinster prop Martin Moore for his debut in place of Mike Ross. No sign of a Scotland try this half. All too comfortable for 2009 champions Ireland.

Kaylan Geekie:, external Scotland continue to not have ability to score tries; always been biggest problem. Until they do, they will continue not to win.

Patrick:, external Ireland are looking like a good team this year, bearing in mind it isn't their full side.

Twenty minutes left and Ireland, if anything, look as though they are moving up a gear. Cian Healey is powering forward away and gains about 15 metres as the hosts look to add to their advantage.

"Ireland are now looking to the outside channels, with runners like Rob Kearney, Dave Kearney and Andrew Trimble hitting their lines out wide."
