MATCH REPORT

SCOTLAND 18

IRELAND 30
GAVIN WILLACY at Meggetland, Edinburgh

Ireland pulled off a fine win in Edinburgh to take a step towards the Alitalia European Cup. Four tries on the right in the first half - two to Tim Bergin and two to Stuart Littler - saw them take a commanding 22-0 lead at the break, and when Callum Casey scored three minutes into the second-half, it was all over for Scotland.
Rain drove in for an hour before kick off, making the Meggetland pitch a mess by the end of the warm-ups and suggested a basic game plan would be the choice of both teams. Scotland coach Dave Rotheram, taking the team for Head Coach Steve McCormack, handed debuts to four youngsters: Leeds hooker Liam Hood, 20, teenage Wigan wide-man Shae Lyon-Fraser, and 21 year old twins Jonathan and Adam Walker off the replacement bench. It was a far stronger Scotland side than that which beat Ireland in Glasgow last year, but still included seven players aged 22 or under.
Ireland, too, were stronger, with Warrington Wolves loose forward Tyrone McCarthy the stand-out name. Mark Aston was giving debuts to six players and caps to John O'Donnell and James Mendeika, who both played in the non-capped game against England Knights.
The opening was cagey but once Ireland found a way through they did it time and again. On 14 minutes, Bergin touched down inside the flag before going off to have his head wound stitched. By the time he returned, Littler had doubled Ireland's lead. Bergin then scored again, swiftly followed by Littler once more as Liam Finn and James Meneika targeted Scotland's left side of defence.

"Credit to the players," said coach Mark Aston. "They found a weakness and shot it to pieces." Finn's goals kept the racking up the lead, as Ireland camped in Scotland's half and the Bravehearts failed to complete their sets.
The home side needed to score first after the break and when Casey raced in to make it 26-0, it was a matter of how many Ireland would win by and whether a shell-shocked Scotland could score.
Credit to them, they fought back well, reversing the pattern of the first half with set after set in Ireland's half, mostly as a result of some fine forward play. That pressure brought three tries: the lively Ben Fisher got a touch to his own grubber kick after it was fumbled; Mitch Stringer capped an excellent display with a try just after the hour but when sub Callum Cockburn touched down Fisher's bomb to make and David Scott kicked his third successive goal for 18-30, there were only six minutes left.
Ireland held out for an impressive victory.
