The rain is pouring down here in Yokohama, Hamish Watson is sat on the bench in a knee brace wielding crutches, and the scoreboard from a Scottish perspective should only be viewed from through the cracks in the fingers.

There was so much positivity coming from the Scotland camp all week, but it’s hard to see how they put a positive spin on such an insipid performance.

Very nearly a fifth Irish try, and what a score it would have been, especially in these wretched conditions.

Chris Farrell goes thundering through the Scottish defence, and releases Jordan Larmour with a back-handed off-load.

Larmour's ball to Stockdale is just behind the winger, who can't take it cleanly, and Scotland are spared further pain.

The Scots have made another sub, Tommy Seymour replaced by Darcy Graham.

A few more Irish replacements - Tadhg Beirne on for Iain Henderson, who has had a fantastic game.

There's also no sense in keeping Johnny Sexton, who appears to be carrying an injury, on the park any longer. Jack Carty comes on for him and lets fly with a lovely touch-finder with his first touch.

Ireland clear, Scotland knock-on. The Irishmen have a scrum on their opponents' 10m line. They're so good at managing matches like this one.

Gregor Townsend is calling for reinforcements. Simon Berghan and Blade Thomson replace WP Nel and John Barclay.

Much, much better from Scotland. It starts with a fantastic bit of robbery at the maul from Fraser Brown, ripping possession away from the Irish eight.

Scotland, this time, go direct. They power their way to within 10m of the Irish line. John Barclay cuts a sharp, hard angle off Greig Laidlaw but the ball squirts through his arms.

It was such a promising build-up with such a maddening end. Ireland's line remains unbreached.

Joe Schmidt has brought on Dave Kilcoyne in the front-row, replacing try-scorer Tadhg Furlong.

Really nice little half-break by Sean Maitland gets Scotland some much-needed front-foot ball.

Rather than keep the ball, though, Stuart Hogg probes a grubber into the Irish 22. It looked like a decent chance to go through phases and see if they can find a way of testing an Ireland defence that's had little to do.

The first of what we can confidently predict will be many knock-ons in this first half befalls Scotland.

Duncan Taylor lets a pass slip through his hands on the Ireland 10m line.

Finn Russell lashes the ball away in frustration.

This is pretty much the perfect scenario for Ireland - a three-score lead, physical domination and dreadful weather. What have Scotland got in response?

Scotland try to make inroads through Stuart Hogg, but they get turned over again. Ireland are bossing that breakdown battle.

They set off on the counter into a sizeable blind side, but as Andrew Conway chases his own chip-kick into the in-goal area, he pushes Hogg and is penalised.

We're hearing Bundee Aki has failed his head injury assessment so Chris Farrell will remain on.

The rain is thundering down now, the teams are back out, and Johnny Sexton gets the second half under way.

The declining weather will naturally suit the team with a lead to defend. Ireland can play territory, Scotland need points.

What does the second half have in store for us?
