Quote MessageI don't think Ireland have been the better team today. They have definitely been more aggressive, their intent has been excellent and they got away a classic Joe Schmidt move for the second try.

Mark: Laidlaw is a great kicker but not a great scrum half. His speed of thought is far too slow and he poses no running threat. It allows opposition teams to easily organise their defences
Anon: Irish backs play so basic once it goes beyond 6 phases. Very easy to defend against off static ball

Scotland have called for Ali Price, meaning captain Greig Laidlaw's race is run.
The replacement is a much faster attacking presence and Scotland need scores now.

Quote Message25 phases and Ireland made about half a yard from that move, but the crucial thing is they received the penalty which takes it to a two-score game again, makes it incredibly difficult for Scotland.
Joey Carbery
Assured stuff from the 23-year-old in the swirling Edinburgh gusts.
Scotland have it all to do now.

Scotland are doing so well getting off the line, and Ireland are getting very narrow in attack but Josh Strauss is in the way and the referee has one decision.
Scotland 13-19 Ireland
Outstanding defence from Scotland, keeping Ireland at bay for 27 phases.
But, once again, they end up shooting themselves in the foot.
Josh Strauss doesn't roll away after tackling Josh van der Flier and it's an Irish penalty.
Carbery lines it up. This to restore Ireland's two-score lead...
Scotland 13-19 Ireland
A battle of boots just now, with Laidlaw and Murray sending up towering box-kicks as both sides joust for territorial gain.
It ends in disaster for Blair Kinghorn, who drops Murray's long punt under no pressure. That's a sore one for the young Edinburgh man.
Ireland scrum, just outside the Scottish 22.
Greig Laidlaw
Laidlaw doesn't miss many. That's a very good kick from wide on the left.
Scotland are back within a score.

Should Scotland call for livewire scrum-half Ali Price to inject some more tempo?
It would mean taking off their captain Greig Laidlaw, who is currently lining up a penalty shot from wide on the left after Bundee Aki infringed at the breakdown.
Quote MessageScotland need to get some of the impetus back. I'd be tempted to bring on Ali Price - would he bring a bit of spark to Scotland and bring their tempo back up?

Quote MessageIt is not that Scotland are flat. They have just made a few mistakes in the second half which has just stopped them getting momentum.
Scotland 10-19 Ireland
Scotland are making some silly errors that are really hurting them, particularly when they come after periods of very good play.
Allan Dell punctures the Irish line but tries to force an off-load and knocks-on.

The Ireland players are taught to run up field when the break is made. What a great pass by Joey Carbery to Keith Earls, who earns his reward.
Keith Earls
Out of nowhere, a stunning score. But so very soft from a Scottish perspective.
Sean O'Brien flings a loose pass way behind Carbery, the fly-half goes back to gather it under loads of pressure, but somehow squeezes between two Scottish tacklers and breaks clear.
Kinghorn and Seymour are closing on him, but his flights a beautiful pass out to the galloping Earls, who runs in unopposed.
A great bit of play by Carbery, but how easily he weaseled through Allan Dell and Rob Harley's double-tackle will infuriate the Scottish coaches.
The replacement fly-half adds the conversion and it's a nine-point lead now.

Quote MessageMatt Taylor and Andrew Farrell, the defensive coaches, will be getting bonuses this week - two teams with magnificent defence. But I think Scotland's defence has been a bit more aggressive with more turnovers.

Both sides have been really efficient at the breakdown and they recognise when the ball is lost.
But the intensity around the rucking is the same as the tackling and people are just being cleared out pretty quickly.

Ireland have the upper hand in the scrummage, winning a penalty after splintering the Scottish pack. Not for the first time.
Carbery boots down to the home 22 and the Irish are on the attack again.
Once more, they cough it up and Kinghorn belts clear.
Momentum is swinging one way then the other. Now it's Scotland's line-out on the away 10m line.
Scotland 10-12 Ireland
This time, it's Scotland who produce a phenomenal defensive set.
A loose pass is regathered by Keith Earls, but he's absolutely levelled by two tacklers.
Stuart McInally gets over the ball and wins a penalty.
What a battle this is.
Scotland 10-12 Ireland
Ireland go scything through the Scottish defence out wide, with Kearney galloping into the 22.
An excellent Johnson cover tackle brings him down and the ball is lost forward.
Back we go for an Irish penalty, though. Rob Harley the guilty party for a high tackle.
Carbery goes for the corner again.
Scotland 10-12 Ireland
Scotland built some really nice momentum there and had an overlap to exploit, but a silly infringement from Jonny Gray lets Ireland off the hook.
The big lock illegally took out Sean O'Brien at a ruck and Carbery boots play down to the home 22.
