Scotland dealt Six Nations blow as Ireland edge out Murrayfield thriller
Six Nations hopes were extinguished in a tough 24-27 loss to Ireland.It wasn't the ideal start at Murrayfield for Gregor Townsend's men as just four minutes had elapsed when the visitors were awarded an early penalty and Johnny Sexton made no mistake.Then just five minutes later a sequence of errors from Scotland - beginning from their own line-out - eventually let Robbie Henshaw through to deliver the first try.Sexton failed to add the extras, however, as his kick struck the post, and the home side converted a penalty of their own soon after through Finn Russell.Then followed their first try to take the lead in bizarre fashion when Stuart Hogg kicked off his own chest and was deemed not to have knocked on after a review.
