Check out the extended highlights from the first match of the 2017 RBS 6 Nations as Scotland entertained Ireland to BT Murrayfield.
The hosts started the stronger with two tries from Stuart Hogg. However, a try by Keith Earls kept Ireland in the game before a quick thinking Alex Dunbar powered over from a short line-out.
Ireland came back in the second half through tries by Ian Henderson and Paddy Jackson however it would be Scotland's day with some late penalties from captain Greg Laidlaw.

2019 anyone??
Come on Ireland today, bring home the Scottish bacon.
It’s not a touchdown you uneducated swine
That lineout try by the Scots… great invention? It was crooked as the come, straight to his own man…maybe they don't care these days.
Irish triggered
Wow so EZ lol git gud
Love Scotland Vs Ireland. Always a great game and always a great piss up after!
So tell me again… Scotland have got 2 players in Lions squad and Wales have how many ?
That random spectator shedding some tears after the win shows just how much Scotland's win meant to him and his country. Brilliant to watch!
this could be Scotland's year, they will hammer France .. Italy should be a bonus point win, the'll have no fear of Wales or England grand slam there for the taking .
Bravo Écosse !!!
Belle équipe avec du caractère et des joueurs exceptionnels !
Joli spectacle !!!
scotland will win the six nations……. hopefully
scotland will win the six nations……. hopefully
Welsh boy here, congrats guys, always love seeing the Scots do well! Looks like you're a danger force this nations too… Keep it up lads I've got my fingers crossed, until you play Wales you understand 🙂
With Scotland only 7% of the time in Ireland's half in the second period of the game, Ireland should have scored enough points to win the game. Scotland's defence was excellent and it was good for the championship for them to win their opening game at long last. Come on Ireland and win the next four.
made ronan ogara eat his words
That pass at 2:09 looked a mile forward even on the most liberal interpretation of the "backwards from hands with forward momentum" law.
Something still tells me that Gatland will pick Halfpenny over hogg
Northern hemisphere looking damn strong. Here's hoping the southern hemisphere get their act together
I'm constantly surprised that nobody talks about Alex Dunbar as one of the potential Lions, he's exceptional in defence and if he gets a head of steam on him in attack, he's a bull-dozer.
Great win, needs to be backed up though, one-offs count for nothing in the long run.
Hogg's 2nd try is brilliant but CJ Stander should've been awarded a penalty for turning over the ball in the last ruck at the 1:10 mark , he clearly is the first to arrive , supporting his own body weight , on his feet and hasn't been cleared off the ball.
brava Scozia
Ronan O'Gara can suck my fat one!
