Scotland vs Ireland as it happened: Bonus point victory as defending Six Nations champions continue run

Ireland remain on track for a Six Nations Grand Slam after handing Scotland a bruising 32-18 defeat in an impressive exhibition of stealth and power at Murrayfield on Sunday. Tries from Calvin Nash, captain Caelan Doris, James Lowe and Jack Conan plus 12 points off the boot of rookie fly-half Sam Prendergast saw Ireland to victory and left them as the only unbeaten team after the opening two rounds of the tournament.

They dominated the clash with relentless pressure from both their forwards and backs and limited the Scots to tries from Duhan van der Merwe, with an outrageous flying one-handed touchdown in the corner, and a late consolation from Ben White.
