    Anyone else's Virgin media gone down? TV and broadband went after the 2nd try.

    Brilliant first half.

    Further endorsing the madness of people suggesting we might not get out of the pool.

    Another couple of tries after half time would be perfect.

    One will do, but a couple would be nice.

    RTÉ player is a load of sh1te, absolutely not fit for purpose. ITV player absolutely crystal clear.

    It's worrying we haven't capitalised on sexton not playing. Good to see our line out working but missing the creativity we have been seeing from Russell recently. Ireland sublime as usual. Big test now for Scotland.

    Price for laidlaw would be better for you

    That's the most aggressive I've ever seen Ireland's backs defend, their decision making when to shoot up has been spot on as well. A couple of Scottish attacks in promising areas snuffed out and turnovers for Aki and Larmour is a nice return.

    Sexton off please. Carbery's injury is very unfortunate as I think there could've been a legitimate debate on who starts had he gotten a run in the warm ups.

    Scotland have been very poor both in decision making and execution.

    Ireland basically doing what they always do .....

    Aki injury is a concern. Without Henshaw, we'll be tight at center and don't want to be relying on Earls as cover. Pete is less of a concern as we have great depth in that area but hopefully not too bad for him either.

    On RTE James Ryan's province is Leinter.

    And he played in a Munster jersey before a Leinster one. Truth.

    Larmour the poacher is a nice turn up for the books. Second turnover like that in the last couple of games

    No they didn't ask for that, they were reasonable given the history, how about taking a leaf out of their book?

    Hopefully Sexton injury is nothing serious. Maybe just a dead leg.

    Good first half bar the injuries. I'm still not sold on Conan at all. Our defence is superb. Sexton could well be out for the second half, this isn't won yet but if we can get the first score you might see Scottish heads drop

    The Rte player is absolute dirt. Went off after the 3rd try, 5 minutes trying to get it going again.

    I appreciate our mindset and defence are "different", but France almost blew a similar lead yesterday.

    This isn't won yet

    Another try before Scotland score again and I'd be ok with him coming off.
