A Job Well Done! Ireland Win 27-3

Ireland open their 2019 Rugby World Cup campaign with a convincing 27-3 bonus point win over Scotland. They controlled possession off the scrum, setting up McGrath to kick the ball dead at the 80-minute mark.

Another scrum to Ireland inside their own 22 as time ticks on. Scotland had suffered another knock-on before Carty had a kick charged down. Ahead of possibly the game's final set piece, Beirne returns from the bin.

2º Half

Scotland are guilty of a forward pass in midfield. The pressure was applied by Ringrose and Farrell. An Ireland scrum on their 22-metre line with - wait for it - Farrell and Scannell packing down as the flankers and Stander in the second row!
