At least he saw the ball on the ground I guess. Sigh.

@victor-meldrew I can't say Sexton is super convincing...

Not even convincing.

[sparky]

Beirne with the try.

Scotland 10 Ireland 21. Long way back for the hosts.

[sparky]

Scotland give away a dumb penalty. Sexton puts it over.

Scotland 10 Ireland 24

[Victor Meldrew]

Huw McJones in for Scotland.

27-17 to Oirland

[sparky]

Scotland 17 Ireland 24 with 19 minutes to go.

[sparky]

Not saying this is a slow game, but for the last two minutes the commentary team have been wanking about the Scottish team doctor.

[Bones]

Classic. "Don't be scared Johnny I won't come back on"

Ref trying to ask sexton to talk to his team at a penalty.

[sparky]

Watson scores.

[sparky]

Ref lost his whistle and it got broken. Ha!

[sparky]

Try given 22-24.

[sparky]

24-24 with 6 minutes to go.

@sparky

Gregor Townsend was so nonchalant after the Watson try, he makes Graham Henry look over-animated.

[Bones]

Fucken hell Scotland. Basic.

[sparky]

Sexton with his 5th penalty kick. 24-27 with three minutes to play.

[Bones]

Deserved win by Ireland. Scotland with no idea how to win, kicking the ball away with uncontested kicks 2-3 times in the last two minutes.

[sparky]

All over. Ireland win. 24-27. Terrible Scottish game management in the last five minutes.

So just Wales and France in it now

I was a fan of Lowe at the Chiefs but it's fair to say International is a step too far for him. Other kiwis Gibson-Park, Maitland and Berghan were serviceable.

Russell and the Scottish lineout were fairly shocking, Ireland weren't great but deserved to win. I know Sexton isn't much loved globally but I would take him over Russell for the Lions any day.

Ferners of a delicate disposition sit down.

I thought Poite refereed very well.
