Ireland fade in second half and fall to first wooden spoon since 2004

Greg McWilliams’ side will compete in the third tier of the WXVs competition after Scotland pulled away from them in Edinburgh.

Scotland 36 Ireland 10 FOR MORE THAN an hour, Ireland gave as good as they got in this Six Nations basement battle but they just did not have the experience nor the stamina to stop the home side easing clear in the final quarter.

Ireland were first on the scoreboard when out-half Dannah O’Brien kicked an early penalty only a couple of minutes into the game. The penalty was not long coming when Scotland broke up to the other end of the field. They made exactly the same position work for them, with centre Melanie Smith crashing over to give the home side a narrow lead.

That opened the floodgates and Scotland skipper Rachael Malcolm and full-back Chloe Rollie both crossed in the final minutes to put the game to bed. Scorers for Ireland: Try: Nichola Fryday. Con: Dannah O’Brien [1 from 1]. Pen: Dannah O’Brien [1 from 1].
