For once Ireland then had some joy from a Murray box kick to Hogg close to the touchline. Ireland couldn’t establish real control, but once again Scotland’s ill-discipline cost them and the penalty count would finish 14-9. Hastings’ penalty made it 16-12. Ireland were at least controlling territory and Sexton opted for an up-and-under from half-way up the middle. Scoring sequence: 5 mins Hastings pen 0-3; 10 mins Sexton try and con 7-3; 16 mins Hastings pen 7-6; 35 mins Sexton pen 10-6; (half-time); 45 mins Sexton pen 13-6; 52 mins Hastings pen 13-9; 57 mins Sexton pen 16-9; 66 mins Hastings pen 16-12; 73 mins Sexton pen 19-12.
