Scotland drew first blood eight minutes in as Scotland made their way patiently into Ireland’s half before a well-taken lineout from Rachel Malcolm found its way to Martin at the back of the rolling maul. Lisa Thomson’s try was cancelled out by Cliodhna Moloney before Dannah O’Brien penalty moved Ireland ahead for the first time and crucially, to take the win. Scotland were penalised for not rolling away Ireland chose the posts not the corner.
