Jordan Larmour comes in from the cold with Ireland after showing glimpses of his best at Leinster

For many of the contested high balls in the opening phase of the match it was James Lowe and Jack Crowley rising. Larmour’s first came in the 20th minute and again he took off up the middle making around 10 metres before disappearing into the wall of blue bodies. On 33 minutes he took a high catch, ran to the right before straightening up and again was smothered in the tackle in what was a low-fizz first half for Ireland.

It was again Larmour who, under pressure, quickly slung a ball wide right to Calvin Nash several minutes later. Nash probably should have straightened his running line earlier and had he done so might have had a try. But he jinked once too often and Scotland had him on the ground inches from the line in what was one of Ireland’s best chances up to that point on 53 minutes.
