Ronan O'Gara was at Murrayfield as Ireland defeated Scotland
Ronan O'Gara loved what he saw from Ireland as they made it two wins from their opening two Six Nations games at Murrayfield on Sunday.
And while O'Gara was full of praise for Ireland after the game, he did question Scotland's performance. On Scotland, he added: "There is a mental block there. It seems to be getting worse because when you look at the World Cup game and I was in the Stade de France that night and for me, Ireland tore Scotland apart and it was again with a fast start.
The Scots endured a disastrous first half in which they allowed the dominant Irish to build a 17-0 lead through tries from Calvin Nash and captain Caelan Doris while also losing three of their most influential backs: Duhan van der Merwe to a yellow card, and both talismanic co-captain Finn Russell and wing Darcy Graham to head injuries.
