Darge has done really well at the ruck as he turns the ball over as Ireland starting to get a grip of this game.

A worrying sight for Ireland as Sexton receives medical attention. But the stalwart remains on, what a player he is.

Scotland now kick and a line-out is incoming.

The high ball seems to be a nuisance for Scotland this afternoon. Graham gives away a penalty as he hits Lowe, who was catching the ball.

Sexton kicks up field and their fantastic line-out secures a great attacking position.

Graham then splices the ball out of play to gift Ireland valuable metres.

Finally the deadlock is broken!

It’s Dan Sheehan who goes over from a maul. That will be frustrating for Scotland after all their chances so far.

Sexton gets the conversion, game on!

Just as I say there haven’t been a break, there’s a little breather as Turner receives treatment. The hooker stays on the field.

Ireland launching an attack and Conan throws a long ball for Lowe who gathers cleanly.

Ireland have the advantage as a player was hit without the ball. Sexton kicks and Hogg receives it. Back to the penalty.

Sexton then kicks one of the best 50:22 kicks I have seen, just a few metres from their try line.

They take the line-out and look to go over but they are held up! A goal line drop-out now.

All action and no breaks so far!

Oh my that was brilliant!

Gibson Park reads a Scotland play excellently and he intercepts the ball. He can’t quite make it to the line and has no support play, Hogg clears his lines.

That has livened the hosts up who are battering the Scottish defence.

Oh Scotland, that advantage saw them kick to the corner for a line-out but a miscommunication sees Van der Flier come away with the ball.

Scotland have a sustained period of play and they put the ball in the air. They blow a chance again as Steyn played Hansen without the ball.

But now Sexton hasn’t found touch from the penalty!

Scotland have the advantage as Ireland stray offside, the visitors have had a great start at the Aviva.

A long spell of play ends in Scotland spilling the ball so we come back for that penalty.

I hope it’s not just me that got so confused when ref Wayne Barnes raised his arm. He’s wearing a yellow watch and I thought Aki had a card. But no, just a watch!

Solid first scrum from both sides with the ball popping out for Gibson Park.

There’s friendly fire though as a ball is put into the air. Graham clatters into Gray, who is back to his feet but that looked powerful.

Scotland push Ireland out as they attacked. The visitors’ ball once again.

Schoeman makes a great break but he doesn’t have the pace to go all the way.

Scotland remain in possession and the prop has set his team up in a great position. But can they finish it off?

No they can’t, Johnson throws a forward pass. First scrum will be Ireland’s.

What a match and we’re only six minutes in !
