  1. 'A pitiful performance'

    FT: Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer

    Scotland didn't turn up. No urgency, no aggression, nothing. A pitiful performance. The Irish players are probably saying they can't believe how easy they had it. Scotland are an absolute soft touch.

  2. 'Thank god that's over'

  3. 'Lack of Scotland creativity a concern'

    FT: Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on BBC Radio Scotland

    The second half was even worse in the first - we just didn't get anything going and had no points. I can't remember a World Cup game where we haven't scored a try. More concerning is we didn't even threaten until after 70 minutes.

  4. Big tick for Ireland

    FT: Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    That is a job very well done for Ireland.

    Injuries to Bundee Aki and Peter O'Mahony will be a worry with just six days until they face hosts Japan.

    But Ireland's squad stood up - and that's what will please Joe Schmidt the most.

    He has longed for depth over the last four years, and pulled out all the stops to get it.

    A really positive start to Ireland's World Cup.

  5. 'Irish defence rock solid'

    FT: Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    Rory Lawson
    Former Scotland captain

    Joe Schmidt will be delighted Scotland finished with only three points. Despite being so far ahead, the defence has kept working, challenging the breakdown, and Scotland have had no answers.

  6. Full-time Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    Ireland strike a monumental blow in the battle to top Pool A. They didn't just beat Scotland, they pulverised them.

    Ruthless in attack, scoring four tries, and absolutely brutal in defence, keeping a Scotland team with so many dangerous attackers to a solitary penalty.

    Joe Schmidt and his team have addressed a few critics today and emphatically silenced any suggestions they had peaked too soon for the showpiece.

    For Gregor Townsend, this is another chastening defeat against a Six Nations rival - and this on the biggest stage of all. The Scotland head coach has some serious questions to answer.

  7. Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    We're into the final minute in Yokohama, play still in Ireland's 22 but the men in green with the ball. An imperious display is almost at an end.

  8. Scotland make another error

    Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    Scotland's mountain of mistakes continues to grow.

    A forward pass to substitute Chris Harris checks another late foray into Ireland's 22.

    Ireland will be determined to keep them try-less and keep this scoreline as emphatic as possible. In truth, they've never looked in any trouble.

  9. Ireland holding firm

    Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    Ireland are handling the Scottish attacks with relative ease even at this late stage. They've conceded another penalty but they haven't looked like conceding a try.

    It's Scotland's line-out, again, on the 5m line. And this time, Ireland poach it, James Ryan plucking the sodden ball from the Yokohama air.

  10. Best going the distance

    Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    Michael Morrow
    BBC Sport NI at the International Stadium Yokohama

    Hooker Niall Scannell comes on for flanker Josh van der Flier...

    So 37-year-old Rory Best is going the full 80 minutes - bit of a statement?

    There's life in the old dog yet.

  11. 'Scotland lacking self-belief'

    Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    Shane Horgan
    Former Ireland wing on BBC Radio 5 Live

    That little phase was a good demonstration of the difference between the sides. It wasn't a bad move round the side from Scotland, but Ireland met it with such physicality and stopped it dead. It seemed like a lack of self-belief from Scotland that they would get over the line.

  12. Scotland aim to finish with a flourish

    Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    Scotland finally string some coherent, incisive rugby together. Blade Thomson storms towards the Irish line and Fraser Brown, tracking inside in support, gets tackled without the ball.

    It's a Scotland penalty, and now a Scotland line-out on the 5m line. At long, long last, can they get over the whitewash?

  13. 'Townsend facing big questions'

    Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    Rory Lawson
    Former Scotland captain

    This is a two out of 10 performance at best from Scotland. Big questions will be asked of Gregor Townsend.

  14. Depleted Ireland prevail again

    Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    Missing a player? No problem for Ireland.

    Stuart McInally is brilliantly repelled from the line-out in the corner, then Scotland cough it up, and concede a penalty to boot. It's been their day in microcosm.

  15. Sin-bin Tadhg Beirne

    Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    Scotland puncture the Irish defence with Hogg searing into the 22 on a fine break.

    Tadhg Beirne gets over the ball, but he's well off his feet and cynically slowing play down.

    Wayne Barnes goes to his pocket. Surely Scotland can capitalise on being a man up...?

  16. Penalty Ireland 27-3 Scotland

    Jack Carty

    Easy as you like. No need to chase tries for Ireland now. We've got about 12 minutes left for Scotland to salvage even the merest crumb of comfort. It doesn't look likely right now.

  17. Furious Farrell

    Ireland 24-3 Scotland

    Chris Farrell has been an absolute colossus since his early introduction for the injured Bundee Aki.

    He makes two big carries to drive Ireland deep into the Scottish 22, and they win a penalty with Simon Berghan lurking offside.

    Jack Carty will surely pop this over from straight in front of the posts...

  18. 'Irish defending suffocating Scots'

    Ireland 24-3 Scotland

    Tony Ward
    Former Ireland fly-half on BBC Radio Ulster

    For all the possession Scotland have had today, they haven't been able to do anything with it. Ireland's defence has suffocated them - with the conditions making life even more difficult for them in the second half.

  19. Conway strikes

    Ireland 24-3 Scotland

    Here's a look at Ireland's fourth try, clinically finished by Andrew Conway.

    Scotland - as they have to - are forcing things now. The off-loads are getting more and more desperate, and in this downpour, that's only going to end with fumble after fumble.

    Ali Price is on for Greig Laidaw and Scott Cummings has replaced Jonny Gray.

  20. 'Samoa will be licking their lips at this'

    Ireland 24-3 Scotland

    Rory Lawson
    Former Scotland captain

    Chris Farrell goes through a gap as wide as a hippo's yawn - it's desperate from Scotland. They play Samoa next, which is a challenge as they found out four years ago. Samoa will be licking their lips at this Scotland performance.
