Going away to England will suit Scotland now as underdogs. For 10 minutes after half-time they played with aggression and tenacity but then dropped off.

Ireland interim head coach Simon Easterby tells BBC Sport: "We did what we set out to do in the game. We started strongly and limited Scotland to a few opportunities in the first half.

"We felt like we had control of the game in the first half and the scoreline reflected that.

"We were good at not giving their individuals opportunities. They were hamstrung by injuries to Finn Russell and Darcy Graham, but we delivered an intent to attack in the right way.

"I thought Sam Prendergast put us in the right areas more often than not and that is what you need.

"We managed the game well throughout."

The nature of that game is slightly alarming for Scotland, the first 30 minutes or so.

Against a team you have such a poor record against, you have to start well.

They have to look at how they fix these drops in performances in matches. That level of consistency, especially away from home - they will have to be much better against England.

Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has been talking to BBC Sport, and starts with a couple of injury updates:

"Finn [Russell is] fine. He actually passed his HIA but our staff sensed he wasn't totally aware of what was going on, so we made the call to not put him back on.

"Darcy [Graham] is at hospital now, I've not had an update. I think everything was OK with his neck but they were checking out concussion.

"Both Stafford McDowall and Jamie Dobie did really well, and Tom Jordan going to 10 did well too.

"When they had the ball, they scored. The yellow card made it tough for us to get back in the game. Then the injuries disrupted things.

"I felt the players were building back into the game, but once Ireland got back into our 22 they showed how clinical they are. When you are behind on the scoreboard against a quality side, you need to make sure they don't get more opportunities.

"We'll get learnings. Accuracy would be the number one thing."

This Ireland team can get an awful lot better.

They'll come away from this game and have areas to improve on and get better.

I think Scotland got the wrong set-up today - they tried to run from too far in their half, the players lacked physicality and though they brought that in the second half, they left themselves too much work to do.

They'll be frustrated because yet again Scotland have underperformed against Ireland.

Scottish co-captain Rory Darge has been speaking to BBC Sport.

On the loss of Finn Russell and Darcy Graham in the first half: "Obviously it's tough to deal with. Two very important players going down.

"Hopefully they're all right. I think they're both OK but I'm not sure."

On the difference between the two sides: "The boys hung in there but we're obviously disappointed with the result in the end.

"The difference was probably their clinicalness in the finish zone. We had a few opportunities, showing a little bit, but not taking them or converting them into scores."

On preparations for England next up: "Initially with the week off, get some time away. That's a sore loss we've to take on the chin.

"But by the time we come back into camp, make sure that we're ready to go."

We can now get some thoughts from the Scotland camp...

John Barclay

Ireland are one of the most detailed orientated and cohesive sides. It is also the decision-making and work off the ball.

The level of detail and rugby IQ in that team is amazing.

Conor: I could listen to ROG talk rugby all day. Gold.

Watch Ronan O'Gara's assessment of that Ireland performance below.

Ireland captain Caelan Doris, speaking to BBC: "There is a feeling of satisfaction after that one.

"We spoke about starting fast as Scotland are a dangerous team. We did that well.

"The competition within the squad is great and it continually pushes the standard up in training."

Johnnie Beattie

Ireland were probably in third gear. Two or three tries went begging where they were held up over the line in the first period. I don't think the personnel leaving the field actually made that much of a difference.

The difference in quality was there for all of us to see.

Ireland are on for a three-peat - they're an outstanding outfit.

If you're looking for a formula of how to go away and win in the Six Nations I think you should study that.

It was ruthless from minute one. Total domination. Scotland didn't get any in. Normally in a Test match the lead changes hands a couple of times and it's in the balance.

Today the biggest surprise is that it finished 32-18. It felt like a 40-point victory and maybe if Ireland need to, I think they've another couple of gears to go.

Ireland fly-half Sam Prendergast has been given the player of the match award: "It was an unbelievable game and a savage atmosphere. The anthems were pretty special.

"I thought we started unbelievably in the game. We put so much pressure on. We did really well in the second half when they got their purple patch to come back.

"It wasn't perfect from us but it was better than last week and we'll keep trying to get better week on week."

Scotland didn't have any attitude in the first half. It was like they didn't think they could win the game.

They made mistakes and made it too easy for Ireland. That scoreline flatters Scotland.

John Barclay
Former Scotland captain on BBC One

Scotland had to be somewhere near their best and they were way off it.

Scotland were poor and at the breakdown they were dominated. Ireland were also very good and clinical.

I would suggest that, despite Scotland's statistical advantages highlighted at 16:59, no-one watching this game would think Scotland deserved to win.

Or maybe I'm being cynical...
