It was a change of pace on Saturday as we covered the deciding Six Nations Championship game between Ireland and Scotland, at the Aviva Stadium. At least one match point was required by Ireland to ensure they retained the Championship; Scotland also had plenty to play for as they were still in contention for a Grand Slam.
Scotland took the lead from an 8th minute Finn Russell penalty goal to lead 3 – 0.
Ireland came back after Scotland had read a lineout move, which sent the Irish maul into touch. From their lineout they overthrew the ball, which was snapped up by Dan Sheehan who ran in unopposed from 5 metres. Jack Crowley’s conversion gave Ireland a 7 – 3 lead after 13 minutes.
