  1. Scotland 10-14 Ireland

    A much sharper start to the half this time for Scotland, with Hamish Watson putting in two excellent carries. But Jonny Gray is pinged for coming in at the side, and Ireland get themselves up the pitch.

  2. Kick-off

    Scotland 10-14 Ireland

    Right, here we go. So many questions. Will Ireland turn the screw? Will Scotland ever win a lineout again?

    Stick with us for the next 40 minutes to find out...

  3. Russell key in second half?

    HT: Scotland 10-14 Ireland

    John Barclay
    Former Scotland captain on BBC One

    I think the way Finn Russell is marshalling Scotland is great and he took the try well. He will be disappointed to miss a kick, but overall he will be happy. I think there will be some tired bodies in the second half and he and and Stuart Hogg will be able to pick them off

    Paul: What was the half-time music on #bbcrugby for the Scotland v Ireland match. Sounded familiar but couldn’t work it out

    Can anyone help Paul out?

  6. Story so far....

    HT: Scotland 10-14 Ireland

    Half-time stats

  7. Just catching my breath after that manic 40 minutes. So many errors from both sides.

    A four-point lead for Ireland at the break is probably about right. They've been the better team, especially at the set-piece and in the air.

  8. Half-time - Scotland 10-14 Ireland

  9. Penalty - Scotland 10-14 Ireland

    Johnny Sexton

    An easy kick for someone of Sexton's calibre and that's that for the first 40.

  10. Scotland 10-11 Ireland

    Unforgiveable from Ali Price. He jumps offside and gives Ireland captain Johnny Sexton the chance to make it a four-point game at the break.

  11. Missed penalty

    Scotland 10-11 Ireland

    Russell's kick from distance over on the left-hand side is wide and Ireland's lead remains intact.

    Another seventy knock-ons later and Russell goes for a cross-field kick which lands in the hands of Chris Harris, but he can't hold on to it.

  12. Scotland 10-11 Ireland

    The error count from Scotland is colossal at the moment. Despite Jamison Gibson-Park's wayward kick giving them possession in a decent area, the ball is spilled into touch.

    At the lineout, Tadhg Beirne is penalised for crossing at the lineout and Finn Russell lines up a kick.

    Mistakes all around. Great viewing.

  13. Penalty - Scotland 10-11 Ireland

    Johnny Sexton

    No mistake from the Ireland captain! Instead of staring at a bigger deficit, Ireland nudge ahead.

    Then Keith Earls wins a penalty from the kick-off.

  14. Scotland 10-8 Ireland

    The swings of momentum in Test rugby. Scotland lose yet another lineout, Ireland clear and then win the penalty as Tadhg Beirne gets in at the breakdown.

    Brilliant counter-attack stuff from Ireland. It's basic stuff, but it's what wins you Test matches.

  15. Scotland 10-8 Ireland

    A massive, massive penalty at the scrum for Scotland. They have been absolutely dominated at the set-piece so far, so that is a huge relief for them. If they were penalised there, it would probably have been three points for Ireland.

    Instead, they gets themselves deep into Irish territory.

  16. A fair reflection

    Scotland 10-8 Ireland

    David Humphreys
    Former Ireland fly-half on BBC Radio Ulster

    The scoreline is probably reflective of where the game is in terms of two teams who have lacked a little bit of structure in how they want to play, who have shown some absolute moments of brilliance combined with too many unforced errors.

  17. Scots benefit from open play

    Scotland 10-8 Ireland

    Chris Paterson
    Former Scotland international on BBC One

    It came from some scrappy play, but that's the danger Scotland have from very open play

  18. try

    Try - Scotland 10-8 Ireland

    Finn Russell

    Incredible. Stuart Hogg charges down a kick, then kicks it off his own chest and not, crucially, his hand. Finn Russell follows up by booting it forward, James Lowe spills it over the line and Russell flops on it to score.

    He then gets up to knock over the conversion. Scotland, somehow, lead.

  19. Try review

    Scotland 3-8 Ireland

    This is surely not a try. If it is, it's the most ridiculous score you're likely to see. Pinball all around.

    Have Scotland scored? Or has Stuart Hogg knocked on?

  20. Furlong at the goose-steps

    Scotland 3-8 Ireland

    Tadhg Furlong has just side-stepped two Scotland defenders as he exited his own 22. Behaviour that quite frankly, shouldn't be allowed from a prop. Ridiculous.

    A crazy bit of play, which eventually ends with Sean Maitland being hauled into touch. Ireland lineout in their own half.
