Richie Murphy’s side finished with 12 tries in a one-sided display of ruthless power.
IRELAND’S JUNIOR RANKS gave their senior colleague a lesson in how to march on towards a possible Grand Slam as they demolished Scotland in a one sided encounter in Glasgow. The men in green took charge in the opening minutes and never let go in a performance that has to give them plenty of confidence ahead of next week’s England showdown.
Right from the start they were sharper, quicker and much more accurate than their opponents. When Sam Prendergast chipped over the top of the defence after two minutes of non-stop action and Hugh Cooney, the centre got to it first before quick hands put Andrew Osborne in for a try on his debut, the floodgates were already open.
John Devine, the centre, was the next to capitalise as the cut cleanly through from half way to put Fintan Gunne in for the next try with Henry McErlean, the full back, making the break for the next with Gus McCarthy, the hooker the link man to put Quinn in for his second.
