Is that the point of no return for the Scots? Jonny Sexton has kicked well all game and he's at it again after Craig Joubert awards a penalty five metres out. It will require something extra special for Scott Johnson's side to come back from this.

Scotland have to pull something out of the bag and, with the clock ticking, Ryan Grant is replaced by Edinburgh prop Alasdair Dickinson. Ireland rumble forward and look more likely to add to their score.

Can Scotland hang in? They have given themselves a fighting chance but Ireland are starting to take control. The green shirts are smelling blood.

Martin Little:, external That Irish try was embarrassingly easy.

Phillip Matthews
Former Ireland captain on BBC One

"I wanted to see Ireland captain Jamie Heaslip being more direct and taking people on. He has passed the ball too much when he should have been driving into the opposition.

"That looked all too easy when he scored after the drive. Scotland did not get numbers in, and those that did had poor body positions - they were too slow to react to get their bodies low."

All too easy for Ireland. After winning a line-out deep in Scotland territory, the hosts drive to the line before captain-for-the-day Jamie Heaslip goes over on the back of the maul. Sexton steps up to leave Scotland trailing by 12 points.

Just the start Scotland wanted. Greig Laidlaw reduces Ireland's cushion back to five points after his team earn the line-out and force the penalty. Moments earlier Rob Kearney was bundled out of play by Max Evans. Scotland have come out with a real sense of purpose.

"Ireland are missing injured flanker Sean O'Brien, and are wondering who will carry his mantle taking the ball on. They need to get over the gain line more."

The players are back on the pitch. Jamie Heaslip pulls up his socks and Jonny Sexton gets us going. Scotland have it all to do.

Scotland assistant Duncan Hodge on BBC One: "We're frustrated. We've coughed up too much ball in their half. We've done a lot of good work getting into good areas and there's been a lot of positives - there's only one score in it."

Rachel Marshall:, external Ireland are looking strong.

"When you kick the ball into the corner, you have to score from the line-out. Ireland took their time, and did very well to work the overlap for Trimble to score."

Andy Nicol
Former Scotland scrum-half

"Scotland were not able to work any mismatches between backs and forwards. They wanted people like Stuart Hogg to isolate a forward, but that did not happen in the first half."

Liam O'Leary:, external What a way to end the half! 13-3, but tighter than it needed to be.

Steve C Thompson:, external Fantastic try from Ireland.

Laura Garner:, external Let's hope Ireland can do a bit better than England yesterday...

Ex-Ireland winger Denis Hickie: "The score's probably a fair reflection of the game at half-time. The Scots might feel aggrieved after that late try but on balance they haven't created very much so the score's probably about right."

That's the end of the first half and off trot Ireland. There's a few more smiles around the Aviva Stadium - including on the face of coach Joe Schmidt - after that late try. Can Scotland come back from here?

"When the rolling maul broke down, Ireland were able to get the ball out quickly. I think Scotland full-back Stuart Hogg might have just tucked in a bit too much, and it left space out wide."

No sooner are Ireland denied a try than they come roaring back at Scotland to open an eight point cushion with the clock having passed the 40 minute mark. Impressive work from the hosts, Great work from Ireland as they spread it wide before a huge overlap allows Andrew Trimble to go over. That could be critical. Can Scotland respond? Jonny Sexton is unable to convert.
