A sunny day in the Scottish capital, and fans gather at Murrayfield, where Scotland take on Ireland. The Scots are looking to bounce back from two opening losses, while the Irish endured a tight loss to France last time out
Ruardih Jackson is making his first international start, one of several changes to the Scotland line-up
Ireland make the breakthrough in the sixth minute. Hooker Rory Best off-loads to Jamie Heaslip and the number eight finds a massive gap in the Scottish defence to score the simplest of tries
Scotland pull-back to 6-7 thanks to the boot of Chris Paterson but Ireland are quick to re-open the gap. Heaslip smashes through the Scottish defence before passing to Eoin Reddan to sneak round the post
Sean O'Brien's powerful runs open holes in the Scottish defence in the second half. The 23 year-old is starting only his third Six Nations match but is playing like a veteran
Ronan O'Gara, returning to the side in place of Jonathan Sexton, has a fine afternoon. Collecting out wide he leaves Ross Ford in his wake to score Ireland's third try in the 53rd minute
O'Gara, who is named man-of the match after the game, steps up to convert and puts himself two points short of 1000 in Tests, before he is replaced by Sexton
Ireland concede a host of penalties to keep Scotland in the game and kicked points from Paterson and Dan Parks take Scotland to 18-21 with 10 minutes to go but Ireland hold on for the win
