After a slow start this afternoon Ireland eventually got the better of Scotland, winning 28-6. In a not-very-exciting match, one of the highlights was Dave Kearney's athletic touchdown in the final play of the game. Although it would have impressed a gymnastics judging panel, unfortunately the ball had bounced in touch before he caught it, so the try wasn't given.
During the match I couldn't help thinking about Paul O'Connell – who was pulled from the team because of a chest infection that developed overnight – watching from his sick bed (that's a thermometer in his mouth, I'm not suggesting that he was indulging in herbal remedies).
