Josh van der Flier made an early bid to retain his world player of the year award at Murrayfield by adding lineout throwing to his bag of tricks.
With hooker Dan Sheehan's replacement Rónan Kelleher not able to throw in after suffering a shoulder injury, van der Flier was tasked at half-time with taking over those duties.
While his first throw was stolen by the Scots, van der Flier found an Irishman with three of his four other throws in the 22-7 victory.
