Rampant Irish put Scotland to the sword

Ireland 33, Scotland 9

Ireland, held to a draw by France and beaten narrowly by England, finished the season in style with a third victory in the Six Nations tournament. It was a worthy win fashioned with a huge first half attacking performance and a clinical display in the second period against the wind.

As Ireland continued a rampant run of success over Scotland at this level they have never lost it took them just five minutes to establish control when captain David Gannon ploughed over for a try that Gareth Steenson converted.
