Ireland defeated Scotland 27-3 to start their 2019 Rugby World Cup campaign on a high.

Ireland led 19-3 at half-time.

Despite getting the better of the territory and possession in the second half Scotland couldn’t turn pressure into points in the second half, while Ireland took their opportunities at almost every chance with Andrew Condon finishing a lovely try in the second half.

Ireland will now take on hosts Japan at 7.15pm on Saturday.
