However, Kinghorn pushed the conversion to the right of the posts, leaving it 14-5 to the hosts at the break. Now it was Scotland’s turn to rally and soft hands by Kinghorn off turnover ball gave Graham an opening on the right. In the end, Ireland were first to really threaten when Jamison Gibson-Park escaped up the side of a ruck on halfway and kicked past last man Hogg, who did well to get back and clear the danger. Graham was penalised for tackling Hugo Keenan before he had collected a high ball, and then had a hairy moment as he tried to gather a towering kick when he juggled possession and then sliced his clearance. The hosts doubled-down and Jonnny Sexton nailed a brilliant 50-22 into the corner which gave Ireland an attacking line-out from which they were held up over the line. It was a plucky enough performance but they lacked the power and guile to really worry Ireland, who completed their Triple Crown with this bonus-point victory.

Ireland secured the Triple Crown and must hope for a favour from England in Paris to snatch the Six Nations title from France.

Gregor Townsend has put a lot of store in the Edinburgh man as an international stand-off and today we’ll find out if he’s right. For Scotland, the aforementioned late night boozy-do appears to have consigned Finn Russell to the bench. Andy Farrell changes three from the team that laboured a little at Twickenham. Mack Hansen returns to the wing in place of the unlucky Andrew Conway, Iain Henderson replaces the concussed James Ryan, and Jack Conan is back in the No 8 berth.

Led the way with two turnovers, one of which led to a relieving penalty and the other put a stop to a Scottish counterattack. He worked voraciously at the breakdown to clear out and in other facets of the game too. His application and work-rate was typically diligent and perhaps his greatest contribution was his tackle count in defence and ability to slow down the ball at the breakdown. Showed an enthusiasm and energy for all forms of contact and was rock solid in the scrum initially and then part of Ireland’s late dominance. He did some very good things, one great kick, and made some mistakes that were untypical - three turnovers, and he got in the way of a pre-planned move. A knock-on from a Johnny Sexton pass highlighted the lack of empathy between the two on the day and he was also caught offside.

Scotland captain Stuart Hogg and had coach Gregor Townsend want to draw a line under disciplinary breach after Ireland defeat.

But if you have one-on-one conversations over certain subjects that are tough to have, then you’re going to have a closer relationship in the long term. It was a private matter, that private discussions and decisions would be made within the group. I know, rightly, people will talk about the result, and that’s the main thing when you play international rugby, but I saw a performance today that was better than most of our performances this year. “Things you do as a coach – things about the game plan, things that the players do, and then sometimes you’re disappointed with the referee. “You’re disappointed with a number of things,” he said, attempting to portray the matter as just one more minor mishap. “We were very frustrated with the outcome of the match,” he concluded. Asked to confirm that he had said sorry to the rest of the squad, he replied: “I did. “It’s frustrating because I felt like we were in the game. We just got on with making sure we prepared in the best possible way,” said Hogg. “It was a challenging week, but it was one of our best weeks of preparation,” he added. “A lot of good stuff happened in that game,” he said. “We just want to concentrate on doing what we can. “We stuck together and got on with our jobs.
