Six Nations 2025: Scotland v Ireland – how home side can win
Last year in Dublin, Ireland started a shaky start. In the opening hours, they gave a fine, a free kick, were prosecuted and turned over. Finn Russell scored 3-0. An encouraging start.
Then Scotland screwed up. Their lineup was close to their own line and threw it to Dan Sheehan, who left. That game was a proper physical battle, and there was a four-point gap in the end. Scotland gave to Sheen the seven people in Ireland.
“Cheap Points” is a term used by Scottish continuous captains for Ireland. This damage error is a topic in these 10 failures.
In 2022, when trailing 14-5, Stuart Hogg became greedy while around the corner, while Sam Johnson was free inside. Hugo Keenan contacted him. A certain attempt disappeared.
The disaster was fought in 2020, when Hogg crossed the Irish line in Dublin. That was the 50th minute. An attempt to convert will make the score level 13-13. Scotland would have had motivation.
Tony Ward, the former Ireland (RTE) first half of the flight, said the Scots were the better team that day.
In 2019, Scotland quickly began at Murrayfield, acknowledging solely through the cock between Tommy Seymour and Sean Maitland.
The previous year, Peter Horne scored a simple 7 points in Dublin when his pass was intercepted. Scotland massacred many opportunities that day, and every mistake proved the stain on the Irish factory.
Every team makes mistakes, but Scotland’s mistakes in this fixture are often absolute. That must stop.
