Ireland may have been spooked a bit last week by England who clearly did their homework on Ireland's exit strategy.

Scotland know they can target James Lowe's massive clearance kicks which is now putting more pressure on Jamison Gibson-Park and Crowley.

Ireland kick upfield and claim the line-out.

It's now in the hands of the forwards as the hosts chip into the 22... but Scotland win the turnover! Andy Christie has been everywhere so far!

It's a huge scrum from Ireland and they win the penalty.

Can Ireland make it count as we tick towards the break?

Great awareness from Stafford McDowall to spot the tackle and keep the game flowing.

Bundee Aki mistimed his tackle and Stafford did what he's great at doing and went through the gap.

Scotland come again but van der Merwe knocks the ball on and Ireland will have the scrum.

10 minutes to go until the break.

Scotland have looked quite calm and composed while Ireland have struggled to make their attack click.

If Scotland can start to put them under pressure it will be interesting to see what Scotland's dangerous attack can do.

Welcome to international rugby, Stafford McDowall!

The big centre makes a superb break after skipping by Bundee Aki and it takes Jack Crowley and Jordan Larmour to chop him down.

Scotland are up to the 22!

Another kick by Jack Crowley in the 22 and another mistake as the ball rolls into touch in the in-goal area once again.

Russell clears up to halfway and Ireland have it once again.

The opening 25 minutes have flown by. It's been pulsating.

Scotland will be the happier of the two teams after the first quarter.

Although Scotland are trailing by one point, Ireland's try was a moment of luck and it has been Scotland who have dominated in terms of territory and possession.

Duhan van der Merwe needs to realise he can't do everything himself.

The defenders are primed to using that to their advantage and it's a lack of awareness from him.

Duhan van der Merwe dances through a couple of tackles but he meets the might of Tadhg Furlong.

Josh van der Flier is right on the case to grab the ball and win the hosts a penalty.

Crowley brings play up to halfway.

Now Ireland will have the drop out after Finn Russell kicked the ball into the in-goal area and Calvin Nash touched down.

It's only up to the halfway line and here come Scotland once again.

It has worked well for Ireland holding onto the ball in the Scottish 22.

If they can play in Scotland's 22 they will give away penalties. Ireland just need to be patient.

You got a great look at what the Scottish defence is trying do there. Forcing Ireland to go through the hands and slow down.

This is a clear tactic form Ireland as Crowley aims to stab the ball into the corner again and, despite a scare for Blair Kinghorn, it goes out of play in the in-goal area, rather than the touchline.

Scotland will have the 22 drop out.

This is like a basketball match, rather than rugby. It's end-to-end and now Ireland are piling the pressure on just inside the Scottish 22.

Scotland stretched Ireland a bit there.

It's about going through the phases and forcing errors.

No mistake from Finn Russell.

There's one point in it.

Scotland have responded well and are camped in the Irish half.

They've managed to get a penalty advantage and Huw Jones almost sneaks through but is dragged down.

Play is brought back and Finn Russell points to the posts.

It's a punishing game isn't it? Under a microscope you've got to deliver on the international stage.
