Ireland v Scotland: Commanding 26-0 Irish lead at half-time

breakingnews.ie

Ireland are in command in Paris as they lead Scotland 26-0 at half-time. Ireland made a good start as they led 5-0 midway through the first half.

Andy Farrell’s side took just over a minute to seize command when James Lowe bounded over for an easy score on the left after excellent play by Garry Ringrose and Mack Hansen to create the opening.

Johnny Sexton missed the conversion attempt. Scotland responded positively to this early setback and enjoyed sustained pressure in front of the Irish line but they were unable to capitalise.

Their task was heightened further by the loss of both full-back Blair Kinghorn and captain Jamie Ritchie to injury in the first 20 minutes.
