Scotland Club XV 17 Ireland Club XV 39Ireland will go into the second leg of the 2020 Dalriada Cup Series with a massive points advantage after achieving a sizeable win over Scotland thanks to a strong first quarter and an equally emphatic finish, in a final ten minutes when they added 17 points. Tries for Ireland by centre Brian Fitzgerald and scrum half Aran Hehir, both from clean breaks and both converted by stand-off James Taylor - who also kicked a penalty - gave the visitors a 17 point lead in as many minutes. Scotland finally found confidence and scored a gem of a try as Grant Mollison delivered the scoring pass that allowed Scott Bickerstaff to scorch over. Pat Ryan is tackled during Ireland’s win at Netherdale. Referee: Ben Breakspear (Wales)
