Ireland vs. Scotland: All the biggest moments, talking points and player ratings

IRELAND 17-13 SCOTLAND

Ireland shot out of the Six Nations traps by walloping France, Italy and Wales, only to be hobbled by England in their last game out. They start the day four points clear on England in the table. A losing bonus point may be enough to retain the title, but Ireland were gunning for a fourth emphatic victory.

As it played out, tries from Dan Sheehan and Andrew Porter, as well as seven points from the boot of Jack Crowley, were enough to see off a determined Scottish side.
