    Sorry someone remind the lads that in Union scrums are supposed to be contested and that you do indeed push.

    Absolute tosh from Ireland in the first twenty mins, coupled with poor discipline, this could be a long evening.

    Leamy off good call wasn't offering anything. Heaslip has to now offer something more then heads down rugby.

    9-6 to Scotland but might change now, Scotland shot at goal.

    Goes over 12-6 to Scotland.

    Another chance for ROG to bring it back to a three-point gap. Sounds like an easy chance outside the 22m line, which he's got. 3/3 from O'Gara, and 4/4 from Patterson.

    Scotland 12 Ireland 9.

    Id worry for ourselves. Scotland playing alot faster and flatter, they are completely dominating the breakdown area, Barkley having one of those days for Scotland. Needs to be picked up in the next half if we want to win this!

    Decent enough end to the half, lets start the way we left it off.

    Phew, could be going into the half 9 points down there, great covering by Bowe and BOD?

    Good sustained phases of play there, Darcy just couldn't get the ball out to BOD in time at the end. This is going to be very close, needs something just to open it up slightly.

    Some of the forward pass decisions by Kaplan have been infuriating. We need to start putting consecutive phases together in the second half.

    Nah, not the ref...same old story, business end of the tournament, the pressure and expectation comes on, we go into ourselves and the cracks start to appear....

    Its a small margin to be trailing behind at half time, could be worse, we can turn this around, as long as they keep up that tempo they left the first half with...

    Much better pace to the Irish game since halftime, although Patterson almost got the bounce there and was away for a certain try.

    Still very tight, Ireland need to play the game in the Scottish half and keep the tempo up.
