| It's been an awful season for us. Dreadful luck with all the injuries and lack of adequate replacements badly exposed particularly at half back and centre. Last night's match was the first that I haven't been bothered to watch live in years. Glad i didn't make the effort. Pleased for the Italians in truth and am just hoping we'll have it all sorted out by next season.

Ireland 15-9 Scotland Ireland: (12) 15 Pens: O'Gara 5 Scotland: (9) 9 Pens: Paterson 3 Ireland will head to Twickenham next Saturday with a Triple Crown and first Six Nations title in their sights after repelling Scotland in Dublin. They dominated territory and possession in an attritional contest but could not breach the visitors' superb defence. Instead the hosts had to rely on the boot of Ronan O'Gara, who kicked five penalties to three from Chris Paterson. Ireland led 12-9 at half-time, and O'Gara landed one more penalty after the interval to seal a deserved win. Scotland remained in it right to the end as O'Gara missed another penalty with a minute to go, but the visitors can have no complaints with the outcome. They will head to Rome hoping to conclude an otherwise excellent campaign on a victorious note. After a downpour just before kick-off, Ireland started at a tremendous pace and were 3-0 to the good in the second minute as O'Gara kicked an easy penalty. The fly-half rewarded another sustained series of attacks five minutes later with his second but Scotland were given three cheap points from the resultant kick-off as Malcolm O'Kelly impeded Jason White and Paterson opened his account. The Scotland wing soon levelled the scores for another Irish offence as both sides, particularly the visitors, kicked most of their possession in the tricky conditions. Brian O'Driscoll tries to find a way past a resilient Scottish defenceIreland looked the more dangerous with ball in hand though, and after Geordan Murphy had entered the line to good effect, O'Gara - who had just pushed another effort wide - kicked them back in front. But Paterson replied in kind to bring the visitors level again after 27 minutes as the rain started to fall. Scotland briefly enjoyed some pressure of their own only for Murphy to recover his own fumble from a kick through to the Irish line and launch a breakaway. Ireland continued to build the phases to good effect despite Scotland's sterling defence, and O'Gara's fourth penalty gave them a slender half-time advantage. The Scottish line-out, until this season one of their chief weapons, again floundered on the resumption, allowing Ireland to dominate territory. The hosts should have scored a try after 48 minutes but Murphy's low pass to Andrew Trimble allowed Hugo Southwell the split-second he needed to bundle the wing into touch. It was disappointing not to score a try, but you take the wins as they come ![]() Ireland lock Paul O'Connell Again Ireland pressed, only for Sean Lamont to pluck Paul O'Connell's pass out of the sky a metre from the line. Captain Jason White tried to lift the siege with a thumping hit on Ireland hooker Jerry Flannery, and the hosts' only reward for 15 minutes' dominance was another O'Gara penalty. Scotland sent on reinforcements in the shape of prop Craig Smith, hooker Dougie Hall and half-backs Chris Cusiter and Gordon Ross. As the game started to break up, Murphy tried to weave his way through but the Scots' defence remained resolute. With seven minutes left, the visitors made almost their first foray of the half into Ireland's 22 but whereas their line-out was precarious, Ireland's remained solid. There was still time for O'Gara to miss a final penalty attempt, but ultimately it made no difference.

| CMN We could do without 'player power' as well....jumped up twats seem to forget two years ago they couldn't win a game to save their lives..... Gareth Thomas should never even play, let alone captain Wales again.... Who on earth is there to replace Ruddock?? We lack a ball carrier or two, Owen is just not up to it, Missing Ryan J and Dafydd J has really hurt us....and Shanklin as well... |

| I'm sad to say I agree about Owen. He was a good friend of mine from our cricket playing days, though he's a lot younger than me. Always had all the skills in the world, rather like Geraint Lewis...lachs the real bulk and drive. |

| Agreed - some good passing movements by the Irish but just couldn't get through the Scotch defence. Didn't see the stats for the 2nd half but it seemed most of it was played in the Scotch half with the Irish having about 75% possession. What about today, will England win? |
