Ireland vs Scotland LIVE: Six Nations 2020 result and updates from today’s clash

21 minutes

And that's another proper mess - Mathieu Raynal sees nothing wrong with a scrum that contorts itself and then implodes, with both number eights somehow ending up face to face. CJ Stander just about retains the ball at the ruck, and Conor Murray is eventually able to get a clearing box kick away. 

22 minutes

And that makes it an even better clearance - Iain Henderson's lift is late at the back, but a slightly underthrown ball means he is up perfectly to claw it back for Ireland. 

23 minutes

Ireland clear to just beyond halfway with the high kick and Scotland reply with an angled one of their own, Andrew Conway under real pressure from Blair Kinghorn and only able to knock the ball into touch. 

24 minutes

Scotland bring Sam Johnson on the hard charge off the top of the lineout, with Johnson nearly knifing through, just about chopped down by the most desperate of right arms from Josh van der Flier. Scotland still have real venom in their carries, though, and it seems a telling burst may not be too far away when the ball somehow emerges on the Irish side.

Ahh, that would be why - Peter O'Mahony's got his hands on the ball and produced a wonderful steal despite a healthy clattering from Zander Fagerson, perhaps fortunate that the officiating team see nothing wrong with his attempted clearout: it looked close to the neck of O'Mahony. Ireland can make nothing of their attempts to counter from beneath their own posts, which is fine as the holding on penalty is awarded anyway.

25 minutes

Conor Murray hasn't quite got his kicking right yet, but gets a favour from a foolish Fraser Brown who jumps across the path of Andrew Conway who is looking to get on the end of Murray's sliced kick. Another penalty for Ireland for the firm off-the-ball shoulder, and into the Scottish half they go.

27 minutes

Ireland work the ball across from right-to-left via long miss pass from Bundee Aki, and when they move the ball back to the right Garry Ringrose's half-break seems to have set up Andrew Conway for a charge for the line. But the referee's whistle brings them all to a halt - Peter O'Mahony's off-ball takeout helped open the space for Ringrose, and that'll be a Scottish penalty...

Which fails to find touch. Sloppy stuff at the moment.

29 minutes

Boos at the Aviva Stadium as Jordan Larmour seems to be tripped up by Stuart Hogg after he chips the ball over the onrushing Scottish defence. Hastings then meets the bouncing ball on the half-volley and only a covering Johnny Sexton prevents him gathering the ball and sliding over the score.

Let's have a look at the Larmour-Hogg incident - nowt doing, Hogg was committed to the tackle. Sexton has knocked on, so we will restart with a Scottish scrum in the the Ireland 22.

30 minutes

Again it is the hard-running of Sam Johnson from the set-piece for Scotland, but this time he has centre partner Huw Jones alongside him and ready to take a lovely pop at the line to win the collision and get over the gainline. Jones is eventually pulled down four metres out, but a forced offload ends the movement with the ball evading Scottish hands and instead finding green grass, and eventually green hands, with CJ Stander sliding to retrieve it.

Ireland clear to the ten-metre line but their attempts to pilfer the ball are ruled to be illegal - Adam Hastings will have another go at goal from wide on the left.

32 minutes

Nope - it starts right and fades further away from the far upright.

And Ireland take a clever dropout, fired virtually perpendicular to the 22-metre line and into the hands of a leaping Jacob Stockdale coming from deep, with the big wing powering down to halfway.

33 minutes

Jordan Larmour spots space on the right but James Ryan eschews an overlap to take five metres of his own, with exasperated cries from the backs outside him acknowledgement of a missed opportunity.

Ali Price then strays offside to prevent Ireland finding momentum again. Mathieu Raynal points a knowing finger, and awards Ireland the penalty.
