Ireland delivered a commanding performance against Scotland, winning 43-21 at the Aviva Stadium. Jamie Osborne opened the scoring with a try in the second minute, quickly followed by a conversion from Jack Crowley. Scotland responded with a try from Darcy Graham, but Ireland maintained their momentum with further tries from Dan Sheehan and Robert Baloucoune, taking a 21-7 lead into halftime. In the second half, Finn Russell scored a try for Scotland, but Ireland's Darragh Murray and Tommy O'Brien each crossed the line, solidifying their advantage. Crowley was instrumental, converting all but one of Ireland's tries and adding a penalty. Scotland's Rory Darge also scored, but the gap proved too wide to close. Ultimately, Ireland's dominance in all aspects of play secured a well-deserved victory.
