Bloody huge game in a huge weekend to round out a fantastic 6 nations.

Scotland have the weight of 11 consecutive losses against Ireland hanging over them which is shite.....especially that they semi regularly beat the rest, especially England and Australia.

can they get over that ?

Does @mikethesnow s favourite player Finn Russell have one more mighty performance in him to get them over the line ? Much riding on his ability to release that backline which is as good as any in the world ( seriously )

Will Princess Anne put out and finally give Sione that hug he clearly wants ?

With the three bottom teams Scotland, Italy and Wales showing massive signs of improvement of late I think any talk of promotion and relegation can be put to bed judging by this years tournament.

The Irishman

That Scottish back line is certainly world class. If the pack can match Irelands physicality, I see Scotland breaking their voodoo against Ireland. Should be a cracker.

Come on Scotland!

Jailbreak7

Scotland just losing their accuracy, and being sucked in to the way Ireland want to play

Jailbreak7

Fark the second time Scotland turned down an easy 3 points and second time they have messed up the LO and turned the ball over....jeez

W32

Scotland showing why they are Scotland. Disappointing

Jailbreak7

@W32 I think the belief they can win is lacking today

MiketheSnow

No platform for the Scottish backs

Irish forwards in charge, comfortably

Very good half of Test rugby

W32

Friggin ireland cheating bastards

W32

Ireland players too busy throwing their arms in the air and squealing for a penalty instead of defending. Try Scotland

MiketheSnow

Fortune favours the brave

Ireland have to be close to a YC FFS

W32

Frawley is a cock

MiketheSnow

Ireland very lucky to have 15 on the park

Hands everywhere

Ref needs to grow a set

Great match

Ireland's best performance and result for a long time.

A triple crown to celebrate and new owners of the Raeburn Shield.

To be honest, result was not unexpected, I thought Scots were on last legs at end of test last week and thought they may struggle this week. Irish weren't bad either, so deserved result and bloody good test.

Ireland were the better team, no doubt about it, but the ref made things easy for them. Hands and lazy bodies everywhere in the rucks and not a single penalty against Ireland. Ironically, the only penalty which was given for not rolling away was against Scotland.
