Escape to victory against Scots not a good look for the new Ireland

It may have been Hogg with the schoolboy error but Ireland's report card is clear: must do better, writes Brendan O'Brien.

Hopes, ambitions, targets, expectations. Whatever the vocabulary you cared for, this wasn't the vision anyone had for a rebooted Ireland. Not when they had to scramble on their own try line with the clock almost dead, kicking to touch to kill the contest and keep the Scots at bay.

Not a good look.
