    Ah, makeshift hooker Cian Healy fails to touch the ball so now Scotland get the scrum on their own line.

    The change of props hasn't worked for Gregor Townsend's side so far.

    But this time they get the penalty at the scrum and go quickly.

    If the All Blacks had done what we had just witnessed then we would be going ecstatic. The passing side from Gibson-Park, he's been super.

    Oh wow.

    Ireland go so close to a bonus-point score.

    James Lowe takes the ball to the line and whips a ripper of a pass to Jamison Gibson-Park.

    The scrum-half floats it inside to James Ryan, but Kyle Steyn gets back to tackle him and then the second row's attempted offload goes forward.

    So unlucky.

    No matter, the three-prop front row get a scrum penalty. Ruthless.

    Scotland play out from their own 22, and they have some success by getting up to halfway.

    But then Peter O'Mahony wrestles Blair Kinghorn into touch.

    Scotland get the ball back courtesy of an overthrown lineout. And then give it straight back with a kick out on the full.

    Scotland's error count in this second half has absolutely killed their chances.

    Garry Ringrose gives the thumbs up on the stretcher to indicate he's ok.

    He was down a long time. We'll resume with that Scotland scrum.

    Garry Ringrose is going to be carried off on a stretcher.

    He'll almost certainly miss the Grand Slam match against England in Dublin next week. A real shame.

    The master and the apprentice.

    Johnny Sexton joins his former Ireland team-mate Ronan O'Gara as the joint-top points scorer in Six Nations history.

    Ireland centre Garry Ringrose gets a nasty one to the head as he puts it the wrong side as he tries to tackle Blair Kinghorn.

    His head hit Kinghorn's hip. Ouch.

    Ireland motor up to about 15m from Scotland's try line.

    Mack Hansen steps inside and looks for space to exploit, but he runs into team-mate James Lowe. Scotland scrum.

    Johnny Sexton gets a warm applause as he is replaced by Ross Byrne.

    He's now the joint-leading Six Nations points scorer. If that makes sense...

    Robbie Henshaw replaces Bundee Aki at 12 for Ireland.

    Hamish Watson is on for Matt Fagerson in Scotland's back row.

    Matt Fagerson spins one of the most obvious forward passes you will ever see.

    Not sure why Jamie Ritchie was standing so far in front, mind.

    Scrum Ireland in their own half.

    Scotland get some luck as Ryan Baird pushes Finn Russell off the ball.

    It's a daft one from the Ireland lock. And Scotland have a lineout on the Ireland 22.

    Stuart Hogg is replaced by Blair Kinghorn. And then Scotland's lineout goes astray.

    It's all going wrong for the hosts.

    Scotland's line speed is far less aggressive, and when you've got so many good players they just pick you off.

    They are all playing their part here. Mack Hansen, what a game he is having.

    Jack Conan

    Ireland are moving through the gears!

    Mack Hansen has been man of the match for me.

    His delayed pass sets Conan free down the right wing, and the number eight has the power to get over.

    Johnny Sexton aggravates the Murrayfield crowd by taking an age to take the conversion.

    But the time helps him nail it from the touchline.
