Demolition job

IF Eddie O’Sullivan had dreamed of getting Ireland’s Six Nations Championship off to a better start, he could hardly have come up with anything as good as this.

To beat Scotland at Murrayfield was all he and his players wanted. After all, it was something that hadn't been achieved there since 1985.

Instead, they rattled up 36 points with only six against to consign the previous best against the Scots of 26-8 in 1953 to the scrap-heap.
