Good luck to anyone trying to stop Dan Sheehan from the distance.

Ireland have started to play in the right area of the pitch and they got a bit of luck which will help them settle into the game.

Ireland looked nervous in the opening five minutes - that Lowe kick didn't help matters - but they steadily ramped up the pressure on Scotland there.

Scotland will be furious with how they eventually coughed up the try.

You can already feel the relief inside the stadium.

Scotland just don't need to give those penalties away.

It's so soft.

Some pressure being put on Ireland when they are clearing their lines. James Lowe getting charged down shows Ireland they will need to be careful in protecting their kickers to give them a bit of time and space.

And now Lowe gives away a penalty for crawling on the floor after claiming a kick.

Andy Christie showing great pace, putting Lowe under pressure for that kick.

And now Ireland give away a free-kick at the line-out, but Joe McCarthy turns the ball over and Ireland now bring it clear.

Another kick is sent into the Irish 22 and James Lowe calls a mark to give everyone a bit of a breather.

This has been a frantic six minutes. You can tell both sides have something to prove here.

A huge let-off for Ireland!

James Lowe's clearance kick is charged down by Andy Christie, and he looks to win the foot race but the ball rolls into touch.

This is cagey from Ireland.

Scotland send the ball high in the Dublin night but it's knocked on by a blue shirt.

We're seeing plenty of boot to ball in the early stages as Jamison Gibson-Park kicks away Ireland's advantage.

It's a huge day for Jordan Larmour because Hugo Keenan is one of Ireland's strongest players and it's a late change to the team.

Larmour will add a bit of spark but the focus for Ireland today will be the defence. England tore them apart last week on the counter attack so it's a big day for Larmour defensively as well as going forward.

It's not pretty but Ireland win the line-out.

The forwards go through some early work but it's knocked out and Scotland can clear.

Ireland win the first penalty inside 40 seconds just inside their own half.

Jack Crowley brings play up to the 22.

Away we go!

Remember, there's a title on the line for Ireland.

Scotland's eyes are firmly on a first Triple Crown since 1990 - when none of the current squad were born.

A big day all round. Let's go!

Claire Small
Ireland international on BBC Two NI

Ireland will want to set out their stall early and challenge the Scottish set-piece and have a go at the front row.

There are exciting match-ups in the midfield.

It's a strong line-up and the Irish team is settled. They are missing Hugo Keenan but Jordan Larmour is a quality player to bring in.
