Just seen omahoney challenge on Hogg. Looks deliberate and dirty to me. But then Scotland did hit sexton late aswell.

Scotland may have made more handling errors so far, with 10, but they have also offloaded twice as much as the Irish, with 4 to Ireland's 2.

Ireland take a slender 12-10 lead over Scotland into halftime after a physical opening forty minutes. Scotland opened the scoring with an early penalty, but Ireland came roaring back with two tries to build a 12-3 advantage. Scotland would have the final say of the first half, going over for their first try to make it just a two point ball game at the break.

Good half of rugby. I was expecting Ireland to be abit more physical and have abit more energy. Carbery is an improvement on sexton though. Serious questions being asked about who should start at 10 for Ireland

4 penalties in the game so far. 3 from Ireland, 1 from Scotland.

While it could have e\been better, Scotland manage to replicate last weeks second quarter performance. With most of the ball, they held Ireland well to avoid the game running away from them.

Ireland put it into touch and that will be halftime

Final play of the half

That was some fantastic defence from Ireland just before the break

Slight knock on and after over 20 phases it will be an Ireland put into the scrum
