The colossal work of the Scottish defense
Without heroic defense, the score could have been salty.
While the debates were balanced in the first half, Ireland took it up a notch in the second half, with an offensive multiplication in the last ten Scottish meters.
The Scottish defense did not give in until the 65th minute and a try from Andrew Porter after a handball penalty.
Receiving two small tries and 17 points remains a small feat in Dublin in recent months.
A performance to be highlighted.
Dan Sheehan in good times
Dan Sheehan stands out for his try-scoring ability.
After George Turner's mistake on a throw-in at the start of the game (13th), he did his opponents no favors by scratching the ball to allow Ireland to get back in front.
In addition to this opportunity seized, the Leinster player distinguished himself as one of the offensive leaders of the Irish XV.
The Irish collective will stop at nothing
The Irish XV put on a great show on the field, incessantly multiplying attacks.
Their offensive play made their opponent unable to breathe.
They dominated in the second half, until they cracked the Scottish defense at the end of the game, despite their pugnacious resistance.
Flops
Duhan van der Merwe did not worry
The main Scottish offensive threat, who scored a hat-trick against England (30-21), failed to meet expectations.
Undisciplined and penalized three times in the first half, he was rarely called upon on the wing.
Van der Merwe lacked impact in attack, despite his good involvement in defense.
Zander Fagerson fished in the melee
The heart was in it but his errors in scrum were costly.
He conceded three penalties, leaving the Irish in the lead.
The 28-year-old pillar was like the Scottish front line, overwhelmed.
