    Murray took the box kick. It was seconds after Henshaw collected the kick that the ruck formed. The ruck should have been secured to Murray a chance to get there.

    Yeah, no idea why Murray is copping the flack. Scrumhalves don't make every single ruck in the game.

    Earls rucking in the past ten mins has been ferocious, he's flying into them.

    Henshaw has been very good today for me

    One up runners
    No ruck protection

    There's nothing wrong with one out runners when your carriers are making good yards and the ruck ball is quick.

    Yep totally gone. Getting stopped dead or driven back in contact.

    Think he folded at that scrum too.

    How can he call back the penalty? The ball was clean out at the base of the Irish side of the ruck.

    That makes no sense to me there - why is the ref making a decision for the advantaged team ?

    Ireland's attack is bleach on the eyes, no guile whatsoever. Pure drudgery.

    Even the pre rehearsed moves are just complicated for the sake of being complicated. They don't actually create or exploit any gaps.

    Absolute mess of a lineout drive there. We haven't gotten that right at all this series.

    Scotland have always been incredibly cynical good to see this ref is on them.

    He seemed to suggest he called it back because Scotland had turned over, but the ball was clearly available, it looked like he just wanted to call the advantage.

    We were dull in an attacking sense under Joe but at least there was structure and a plan that they bailed for the most part.

    This is torturous. Boring while also having no idea what they’re doing

    Great work by Henshaw to get to that through 2 defenders and lively by Earls to get it down.

    Amazing what you can do with a pen advantage!

    Has Henshaw trimmed down a bit? Seems to have gained a bit of pace anyhow, he was sluggish enough there a couple of years ago. Giving it socks today, great to see

    Great! We probably dont deserve it but we'll take it!

    On a side note but what in the name of f**k was that maul? Is anything done in training about mauls? So easy to defend.
