Ireland rebounds to beat Scotland 22-13 at Murrayfield

Ireland kept their Six Nations title defence alive at Murrayfield by grinding down Scotland 22‑13 this morning.

After being crunched by England on the opening weekend in Dublin, Ireland had to rebound far from home against a Scotland side confident it had the steel and flair to end Ireland's championship reign in the second round.

But after a breathless first half which the Irish edged 12‑10, they scored a third soft try for some breathing room and their defense limited Scotland to just a penalty.
