Ireland v Scotland Match Reports
Ireland condemned rivals Scotland to another early World Cup exit with a crushing 36-14 bonus-point success in Paris. James Lowe’s early try settled any Irish nerves before Hugo Keenan crossed either side of a score from the recalled Iain Henderson to quickly take the game away from the shell-shocked Scots before the break. Dan Sheehan and Garry Ringrose added to the embarrassment before Scottish pair Ewan Ashman and Ali Price claimed quickfire consolations. A selection of match reports is listed below:
