Ireland defeated Scotland in a humdinger of a match at Murrayfield on Sunday evening to claim their fourth consecutive victory of their campaign as they kept their Grand Slam hopes alive.
Ireland defeated Scotland in a Six Nations humdinger at Murrayfield on Sunday and are now one win away from clinching a Grand Slam title.
Four points clear of defending champions France at the top of the table, Ireland need only draw with England in Dublin next week to win the championship. Ireland had a narrow lead at half time but showed their class in the second 40, scoring two quickfire tries to cruise to a 22-7 victory. Johnny Sexton ended the match having tied Ireland legend Ronan O’Gara’s tally of 557 Six Nations points, and he opened the scoring with a penalty straight in front after a sustained period of pressure.
Scotland came back with the first try of the contest through centre Huw Jones whose scoring streak continues.
