  3. 'It's tough to take' - Townsendpublished at 19:09 GMT 19 March 2022

    FT: Ireland 26-5 Scotland

    Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has been giving his reaction to another disappointing defeat on BBC Radio Scotland:

    "Obviously the scoreline is the thing you assess first of all", he said. "It's a big win for Ireland, which is tough to take.

    "I was proud of a lot of elements. The way we started in attack, the defence we showed, physicality in contact. Those are the foundations of a competitive side.

    "To be a winning Test match team against the best teams, you have to be accurate when you have opportunities, when you have the opposition under pressure and when they have you under pressure. We didn't do that well enough.

    [On Stuart Hogg's missed chance]: "I wouldn't use the term [unforgivable]. The issue is you get punished.

    "Certainly we didn't play as well as we did last year in Paris. Today, I thought that was some of the best rugby we've played in the championship.

    "We know we have to be a lot better next time out in this championship. I'll leave you to answer [whether Scotland are any closer to challenging for the title]."

    FT: Ireland 26-5 Scotland

    Scotland conceded 15 penalties in that match, to Ireland's 10. The home side won't be happy with their count, never mind the visitors!

    FT: Ireland 26-5 Scotland

    Ireland scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park was brilliant again this evening, and he's been speaking to ITV.

    "It's unbelievable," he said of winning the triple crown. "What a feeling to be back home in front of our fans and families. I'm chuffed.

    "We knew it'd be a tough game against Scotland. They're a proud team and they stuck in there and made it difficult. Delighted to get over the line."

    On the possibility of England beating France to give them the title:

    "It's out of our control. We'll sit down and watch it tonight."

    It's probably fair to say this match went to script, unlike in Cardiff earlier when Wales were stunned by Italy.

    What does France v England in Paris have in store?

    Huge disappointment for Scotland on and off the field. They had chances today - Stuart Hogg should have passed inside to Sam Johnson. Scotland have regressed. They need to regroup - summer tour to Argentina, and then the World Cup.

  9. 'Great to have triple crown back'published at 18:47 GMT 19 March 2022

    FT: Ireland 26-5 Scotland

    Ireland hooker and man of the match Dan Sheehan on ITV: "The triple crown is something huge and special for the Irish people. It's something we've not had for a long time so it's great to have it back.

    "It's great when you have the whole pack putting you on the front foot. We've worked well over the eight weeks of the Six Nations and we've got more left in us."

  11. Full-time - Ireland 26-5 Scotlandpublished at 18:41 GMT 19 March 2022

    Very much job done for Ireland. A bonus-point win secured with that Conor Murray try.

    They need England to beat France to win the Six Nations.

    A chastening afternoon for Scotland in Dublin again.

    I thought James Lowe had overran the play. I thought they'd messed it up, but he managed to slip the ball away and Conor Murray had the power to get over.

    Try - Ireland 26-5 Scotlandpublished at 79 mins

    Conor Murray

    And there is the bonus point!

    Ireland get moving off the lineout, Murray gets the ball and spins away from two Scotland tacklers to touch down.

    Johnny Sexton misses the extras. Triple crown secured.

    Over to you, France.

  14. Sin-bin - Ben White (Scotland)published at 78 mins

    Ireland 21-5 Scotland

    Scotland will end the match with 14 players as replacement scrum-half Ben White is sent to the bin for a deliberate knock on.

    Johnny Sexton kicks to the corner again as Ireland hunt the bonus point.

    Ireland 21-5 Scotland

    Into the final four minutes, and Ireland hooker Dan Sheehan, scorer of the first try, is named man of the match.

    He's on the bench now after a great shift. On the pitch, Darcy Graham misjudges his tackle and takes Peter O'Mahony in the air.

    Just a penalty, but Ireland captain Johnny Sexton kicks them into the Scotland 22.

  16. Postpublished at 74 mins

    Ireland 21-5 Scotland

    Ireland hold firm, Scotland go off their feet and it's a penalty for the men in green.

    They can clear their lines and get some field position now.

    Ireland 21-5 Scotland

    A rare scrum penalty for Scotland. Off the resulting lineout Finn Russell pops Mark Bennett into space.

    Ireland's scramble defence does well, but there was advantage played and Finn Russell prods the ball into the corner.

    Lineout to come for Scotland.

  18. Postpublished at 70 mins

    Ireland 21-5 Scotland

    Ireland are comfortable right now. And as Scotland get some field position, Blair Kinghorn throws a poor pass which slithers into touch.

    Scrum for the home side, who have just been more accurate this afternoon!

  19. Postpublished at 67 mins

    Ireland 21-5 Scotland

    Relentless defence from Ireland. Mack Hansen sprints out the line and thumps Mark Bennett, and it allows his team-mates to get in and counter ruck and win the ball.

    Ireland clear, and then Scotland return and it's a knock-on from the home side.

    Finn Russell is on in the centre for Scotland.

  20. Postpublished at 65 mins

    Ireland 21-5 Scotland

    Ireland concede the penalty, and Stuart Hogg goes for it and smashes the ball right into the corner.

    Great kick. Now or never for Scotland probably!
