Ireland get the party started early as they complete Grand Slam in style via IrishTimesSport
It was an evening of celebration in Cork, any nervous tension about a mis-step in the final match removed within the first quarter. Ireland won as they pleased against a Scotland side that could offer little in the way of meaningful resistance. It was the celebratory occasion for which a capacity crowd had wished before a ball was kicked.Championship in emphatic fashion, scoring nine tries in the process and bringing to an end a marvellous campaign for the group.
Six minutes later and it was Crothers that snaffled the turnover, the excellent Conor O’Tighearnaigh took the ball into contact and from there Ireland were decisive and accurate in their passing and running lines as Fionn Gibbons stepped inside a defender to score in the corner. Just before the interval Ireland crossed for a fifth try, this time hard-working centre Ben Carson, who finished off a powerful, direct carry from secondrow Mark Morrissey that scattered tacklers before him. Tector kicked four of the five conversions and at 33-0 would not have envisaged such a comfortable interval lead.
