    Try - Ireland 5-5 Scotlandpublished at 41 mins

    Katie Corrigan

    Having struggled for the breakthrough through the first half, Ireland score only a little over a minute after the restart.

    Dannah O'Brien's cross-field kick causes problems for Scotland and, although Katie Corrigan can't quite control it, Ireland recycle and go again.

    They move the ball well and after a few phases Brittany Hogan sends Corrigan over in the corner.

    What a start to the half!
