Ireland v Scotland
Scotland ended their 2022 TikTok Women's Six Nations campaign with a tough defeat against Ireland, as the hosts clinched victory in the dying moments of the game [15-14].
It didn’t take long for Scotland to initiate the scoring as a series of pick and goes from the pack provided the perfect platform for Evie Gallagher to crash over the whitewash [0-5].
Ireland rallied as several breaks and prolonged spells of possession lifted the home crowd for a concerted period of pressure.
Despite the best efforts from the Scotland defence, Ireland had their first opportunity to put points on the 15th minute as the visitors were penalised for not rolling away.
Hannah O’Connor slotted through the penalty attempt from 40m out as the visitors closed-in on Scotland’s early lead [3-5].
As the rain poured down at Kingspan Stadium, the conditions proved difficult for both sides, with a number of errors being made.
It was a frantic closing ten minutes in the first-half, as both sides were eager to get back on the scoreboard.
Although the visitors were able to enjoy a brief period of sustained pressure, they were unable to capitalise as they relinquished possession inside the 22m line.
Ireland were soon on the move again as Scotland were penalised for crossing, giving the hosts the opportunity to set-up an attacking line-out 5m from the line.
Following a well-taken line-out, Ireland were able to take the lead in the game as Neve Jones dotted down on the back of a driving maul to score [8-5].
HALF-TIME: Ireland 8-5 Scotland
The hosts kicked-off the proceedings in the second-half, but Scotland showed patience and after some promising progress, the side were awarded a penalty in front of the posts, with Helen Nelson slotting the attempt through with ease [8-8].
With momentum behind them, Scotland were able to continue to build pressure and another opportunity came on the 59th minute as the visitors were awarded a penalty in front of the posts, with Helen Nelson bringing the side back into the lead [8-11].
Buoyed by the growing tally, Scotland were soon back on the scoreboard following an impressive penalty attempt from 40m out by Helen Nelson [8-14].
In the last ten minutes of the game Ireland had almost all of the possession, Scotland’s defence held strong for 13 minutes with outstanding individual efforts from Emma Orr, Rhona Lloyd and Helen Nelson.
Well into extra time Ireland mounted a last ditch attack, Scotland’s defence coped with what the hosts were throwing at them until Ireland centre Enya Breen crashed over the line and converted her own try for the hosts to win by one-point.
