Most reports pointed to a dominant Ireland side who exposed the gulf between the teams
Scottish media bemoans ‘toothless Scotland’ after Groundhog Day-esque Six Nations loss to IrelandThere was little deviation from the gulf between the two teams with several outlets rightly drawing attention to the early match clash of heads that ended the participation of winger Darcy Graham and playmaker Finn Russell. The pair departed just after 20 minutes of play, Graham on a stretcher.

The Scotland rugby website pointed to Ireland’s general competence more than qualities like bravado, flair or talent. Obviously downbeat about the outcome, Ireland’s capacity to ensure a positive result was highlighted. “With a trip to rock-bottom Wales next in two weeks and a closing match in Italy, only France – in Dublin in Round 4 – might be able to stop Ireland winning a third successive outright title,” it said.
