Video / Sky SportIreland won successive Six Nations by overcoming a bold Scotland, nerves and the late withdrawal of key man Hugo Keenan to prevail 17-13 at Lansdowne Road on Saturday. The Irish appeared to break Scotland’s rugged resistance with 15 minutes to go after its second converted try for 17-6. Even though the Scots hadn’t beaten Ireland since 2017 or won at Lansdowne Road since 1998, they dominated early but without being clinical. Ireland overcame its nerves to grow into the game and pressure Scotland into making an energy-sapping 238 tackles. Ireland 17 (Dan Sheehan, Andrew Porter tries; Jack Crowley 2 conversions, penalty), Scotland 13 (Huw Jones try; Finn Russell conversion, 2 penalties).
