Stuart Hogg apologises for costly 'schoolboy error' against Ireland

Stuart Hogg has apologised to his Scotland teammates for messing up what should have been a certain try against Ireland in Saturday's Six Nations opener at the Aviva Stadium.

The hosts were 13-6 up after 50 minutes when Scotland, camped on the Irish line, worked the ball out to the left wing where their world-class captain and full-back had the simplest of jobs to dot down and leave Adam Hastings with a kick to equal the scores.
