ON-FIELD REACTION
Jamie Ritchie, captain
On stopping Ireland:
"I don’t know, it’s a tough one. If I knew the answer, the result might be different. What we try to do is play our game - unfortunately it wasn’t enough tonight and full credit to Ireland, that’s probably the best I’ve seen them play."
On what sets Ireland apart from Scotland:
"They all buy into how they want to play, they’re very accurate, they do the simple things really well around the breakdown, they defend really well as a unit and they’re really hard to break down."
On what positives Scotland can take from Rugby World Cup 2023:
"Really proud of how we’ve stuck together. We had a bit of hardship from the first game, proud of how we stayed in the fight today, we showed how we can score some points at the end."
