Ireland secured a dominant victory away to Scotland to move to the top of the Six Nations standings
Ireland produced a statement Six Nations victory away to Scotland at Murrayfield, moving to the top of the table with a 32-18 bonus-point win.
Wings Calvin Nash and James Lowe, No 8 Caelan Doris and replacement back-row Jack Conan each scored tries in Edinburgh, as Ireland proved ruthless and dominant to bring up an 11th successive victory against the Scots.
Scotland fell 17-0 behind in the first half before rallying to 17-11 through a Duhan van der Merwe try and the boot of Blair Kinghorn, but Ireland pushed on again from there.
The task was made all the harder for the hosts by losing talented wing Darcy Graham and playmaker Finn Russell in the first half after a freak clash of heads with each other resulted in the former being stretchered off and the latter failing his HIA (Head Injury Assessment).
