Women: Ireland 20 Scotland 0

Ireland Women kept their home record intact last night with a 20 – 0 win against Scotland.

Ireland (12) 20

TRY: Sophie Spence, Ashleigh Baxter, Alison Miller

CON: Niamh Briggs

PEN: Niamh Briggs

Scotland (0) 0

First half tries from Sophie Spence and Ashleigh Baxter plus a Niamh Briggs conversion gave Ireland a 12 – 0 lead going into the break and, going on previous performances, Ireland were expected to cut lose in the second half. Unfortunately for the viewing audience at home, a resolute Scottish defence and a few spilled passes limited the “Girls in Green” to a Briggs penalty and an Alison Millar try.

Ireland started the game strongly and were on the scoreboard early with lock Spence crossing for her second try this series after good work by Briggs. With Briggs adding the conversion Ireland led 7 – 0.
