    There's a TMO review for Harry Byrne's tackle on Finn Russell.

    It's deemed to be head on head, so he's sent to the bin and Ireland will finish the match with 14 men.

    Scotland have the penalty advantage and look to play their way out of trouble.

    Play is brought back and Scotland have a chance to build.

    Five to go.

    It's a great skill that Finn Russell has is to get that ball away without even taking a step. It takes an awful lot of composure to do that under this much pressure.

    Six to go.

    Ireland have Scotland deep in their own half, which is exactly where they want them.

    Ireland win the line-out but their maul collapses and that ball isn't going anywhere, so Scotland will have the scrum on their own line.

    Ireland 17-6 Scotland

    Scotland have conceded 193m from penalties, compared to Ireland's 27.9m.

    That just about sums it up.

    It has been a brilliant game and Ireland have shown their quality, but full credit to Scotland who have shown incredible resilience in the second-half.

    However, Scotland are now down a man and once again under pressure.

    A harsh penalty and it looks like everything is going against Scotland now.

    There's a red sky over the Aviva Stadium. We're about nine minutes away from a green party on St Patrick's weekend.

    Red sky at night, Ireland's delight.

    That sums up Scotland's half.

    Kyle Rowe, just on the pitch, sends a kick long and out on the full, so Ireland will have the line-out just outside the 22.

    Conor Murray has come on for Jamison Gibson-Park, who has been superb today.

    More changes for Ireland.

    Andrew Porter, with blood pouring down his face, has earned his rest and Cian Healy is on in his place.

    Harry Byrne has entered the fray for Jordan Larmour, which will see Jack Crowley move to full-back

    For Scotland, Kyle Rowe is on for the final 13 minutes.

    Ireland have been all over Scotland but they have defended heroically.

    After banging on the door for 25 minutes, Andrew Porter finally forces his way over and Ireland can now build on their comfortable lead.

    Andrew Porter really really enjoyed that. You can tell he has enjoyed this game today. It all went right for him there.

    In the midst of that, Peter O'Mahony received a standing ovation as he left the pitch.

    Given his emotion during the anthems, will that be for the final time?

    What a servant of Irish rugby. A proper legend.

    Jack Conan is on.

    Andrew Porter (con Crowley)

    Ireland take a tap and go, and Andrew Porter powers his way over! Huge moment!

    It was almost an American football move as Kelleher played the ball out the back and Porter was never going to be stopped from there.

    Crowley converts.

    Look who else is there, mucker Christie. Of course he's there! He's been everywhere.

    Ewan Ashman is sent to the bin after a number of Scottish infringements.

    Ireland have the penalty under the posts.

    It's no try. This one is a little less controversial.
