IRELAND’S SIX NATIONS campaign has got off to a stuttering start in Murrayfield.
Scotland ran in three first-half tries to take an unexpected 21-8 lead at half time in this year’s tournament opener.
Keith Earls did manage to touch down for an Ireland try, with Paddy Jackson adding a penalty, but a lacklustre performance was laid bare in the calamity of errors that led to Scotland’s third.
Centre Alex Dunbar was allowed to stand unopposed in the middle of a Scotland lineout, and hooker Fraser Brown picked him out with a quick throw, allowing him to crash over and score before Ireland were alive to the danger.
