Scotland 19
Ireland 20
Murray Kinsella reports from Broadwood Stadium
IT WAS AN evening of Irish smash-and-grabs in Cumbernauld, as the Ireland U20s echoed the Ireland Women by scoring a late winning try against their Scottish counterparts.

Two wins from two for the Irish sides, in the kind of poor weather conditions that are expected at Murrayfield tomorrow, bode well – even if these performances at Broadwood Stadium were far from convincing.
On a cold, wet night, Nigel Carolan’s U20s will take their victory with pleasure, though we can be sure the head coach will be demanding more from his young men next weekend in Italy.
Johnny McPhillips’ 100% return off the tee was important for Ireland, while hooker Tadhg McElroy and flanker Paul Boyle scored the crucial tries – both of them efforts from the pack. Cillian Gallagher was a totem in the back row.
The Ireland scrum did, however, have a poor night and allowed Scotland good field position and several shots at goal from penalties. Despite some of those negatives, Ireland displayed grit to grind to their victory.
Henderson missed an early long-range shot at goal, but the Scots had the first try of the game in the 8th minute as centre Cameron Hutchinson picked a sharp line to dot down, with his out-half converting for 7-0.

Henderson knocked over two penalties in the second quarter to ensure a 13-6 half-time lead, with only a brilliant try-saving tackle in the left corner from Jordan Larmour and captain Jack Kelly – after the fullback had spilled a cross-field kick – preventing Darcy Graham from ensuring that advantage was greater with a second Scotland try.
Carolan’s men finally adapted to the conditions after the break, kicking a penalty up into the left corner through McPhillips, hitting Oisin Dowling in the lineout and then powering up their maul for hooker McElroy to score.
McPhillips converted to bring Ireland level, but that didn’t last long as a 53rd-minute scrum penalty allowed Henderson to fire over three points for Scotland.
The Glasgow Hawks out-half was able to extend that lead out to 19-13 with his fourth successful penalty heading into the final quarter, as referee Christophe Ridley punished Ireland for failing to roll away.
A crooked throw into a five-metre lineout cost the visitors their next attacking opportunity in Scotland territory, as the frustration threatened to grow.
But, as with the Ireland Women earlier, this Irish team mastered the difficult situation they found themselves in and showed composure to eke out the winning score.

From a right-handed lineout around 35-metres out, Ireland put together another superb maul to get them rolling, before a rampaging series of pick and jams, led by the superb Gallagher and the powerful Caelan Doris.
It was openside Paul Boyle who put the finishing touch to the passage, forcing his way over from a metre out and to the left of the posts.
The reliable McPhillips converted to send Ireland into the 20-19 lead that they didn’t give up – albeit due to Henderson’s miss – ensuring a successful start to their Six Nations campaign.

IT’S LITTLE WONDER that Andy Farrell prefers not to dwell on some of the big statistics of his time in charge of Ireland’s defence.
Though Farrell has clearly brought an energetic new presence to bolster Joe Schmidt’s coaching ticket last summer, there have been numerous times when the energy and willful destruction he calls for has not translated into a miserly defence.
Keeping in mind the enormous caveat that Ireland have played, and beaten, the traditional southern hemisphere big three in the last year (with only the Wallabies not coming back around for a second bite) Farrell’s Irish defence have conceded: two, four, one, four, three, three, three and three tries. It’s an average of 2.87 tries conceded, or at least three per game this season.
“When you say three tries, it’s too high. But I don’t go on stats,” said Farrell after wincing through his memory of scores by Stuart Hogg and Alex Dunbar on Saturday,
“At the weekend, we got caught tight twice and those tries needed to be dealt with better from us and it was in the second half. We got the ball we wanted because of that and those are the things we need to address.”
Farrell put the second half improvement down to a reinvigorated attitude, feeding the better technical points touched on by Robbie Henshaw. The slow start, he insists, was not down to any complacency or lack of fear factor to heighten the collective urgency, but he did highlight an important mindset lesson to be taken from Murrayfield.
Schmidt’s men were clinical enough in reeling in Scotland’s lead in the second half, but once they hit the front, the foot seemed to come off the pedal with decisions made on and off the field sucking the wind back out of Ireland’s sails.
“That last 10 minutes we slacked off the mood a bit and allowed them access back in. I ain’t taking anything away from that second half performance, I thought they were fantastic. We challenged them at half-time and they rose to it. It was a big old mountain to climb, but they climbed it pretty hard.
“If we can get that ruthless streak for 80 minutes we’re going to do well in this competition.
“Because they’re all good teams, every international team is tough and if you’ve not got an edge then it’s very hard to put teams away. We’ve got it in us, we’ve got to just keep educating, keep drawing it out of them.”
A relentless and ruthless streak would certainly be valuable this weekend as Ireland go to face Italy. A bonus point win could help start turning the Six Nations opener into a mere footnote rather than a defining 30 minutes of Ireland’s year.

CONNACHT COACH PAT Lam will be able to call on Ireland internationals Ultan Dillane, Kieran Marmion, Tiernan O’Halloran and Finlay Bealham for Saturday’s Pro12 clash against Newport Gwent Dragons [KO 7.35pm, TG4].
The quartet have been released by Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt ahead of the national team’s three-day training camp in Monaghan this week, which is expected to feature 21 or 22 players.
Dillane and Marmion have featured as replacements in Ireland’s opening Six Nations fixtures against Scotland and Italy, while O’Halloran and Bealham, who started Sunday’s 19-13 Pro12 win at the Cardiff Blues, are yet to be called upon by Schmidt for this season’s competition.

O’Halloran will be keen to impress when the reigning Pro12 champions play Welsh opposition for the third successive round this weekend, as Ireland fullback Rob Kearney sustained a bicep injury against the Azzurri and has emerged as a doubt for the visit of France on 25 February.
Connacht will be looking to build on last weekend’s victory in Cardiff which saw them move just three points behind the seventh-placed Blues on the table.
However, Lam may be without centre Stacey Ili for Saturday night’s game at the Sportsground as the New Zealander picked up a “minor” ankle injury against the Blues. Ili will be monitored by the province’s medical and fitness staff this week.

JAMIE HEASLIP DIDN’T quite let the name of his greatest desire slide out from his lips, but he might as well have had little William Webb Ellis Cup signs ring up in place of the pupils of his eye.
On a day when Ian Madigan was a prime example of the drawbacks that potentially lurk beneath the lucrative figures associated with a move abroad, Heaslip and his newly inked IRFU contract was excitedly looking at the possibilities within the scope of his new two-year deal.
“There is one thing I haven’t won that I would like to win,” said a grinning Heaslip, the holder of Six Nations, Pro12, Heineken and Challenge Cup medals and vice captain of a team who beat the All Blacks, Springboks and Wallabies last year, but began 2017 with defeat to Scotland.
“I would like to add a couple more things to what Leinster have won as well.
“I like winning!
“I think any professional player that has ambition (does). I have been lucky to have a lot of success. It actually makes you hungry for more, to be honest.
“It makes all the crazy stuff that we do, sacrifice-wise, family-wise, friends-wise, pay off in a big, big way. That is something that drives me.”
This time around there was no great drama or wrangling over Heaslip’s future. A coy glance abroad perhaps, but nothing too serious. The number eight is content in his home province and the facilities and opportunities that come with the package. Less pertinent, insists Heaslip was the IRFU’s power of control over its playing resources which help to limit fatigue, if not necessarily injury.
Values
“I don’t think it would have mattered where (I was playing rugby). I physically and mentally feel very good. I don’t think that specifically is something (important).
“I just thought that the opportunity that was ahead of me, the decision on all the things that go on in my life that (staying) was the best decision for what I wanted to do, according to what I’m about, what my values are about – I’m very happy.”
He added: ”I have been lucky enough to visit other places, sporting environments, not necessarily rugby, and Leinster is one of the best facilities out there.
“We are very lucky we have some of the best coaches right now in our club, best S&C, amenities like I said, and a really strong culture and identity.
Before ensuring to actively reel back his projected World Cup age from the suggested 36 to a mere 35, Heaslip said he felt “really lucky” to feel fit and able to compete at the international grade for at least two more years. In the immediate aftermath of the painful quarter-final exit to Argentina at the last World Cup, he had hinted that 2019 might be a season too far, but it was more than just the fresh-out-the-shower appearance that gave off an impression of a reinvigorated Jamie Heaslip.
“In 2015, I probably just meant that you just don’t know in rugby. I’ve seen too many guys, my peers, guys who started the same time as me, guys who started after me, who had career-ending injuries.
“You just don’t know. That’s probably what I meant. I felt very lucky to be able to go to two (Rugby World Cups) and, if I get a chance to go to a third, that would be amazing.
“What drives me is adding value to the club or the country, to the jersey. I still think I can add a lot of value to it.”
Source: Dan Sheridan/INPHO
If it feels odd that Heaslip was targeting a World Cup midway through a Six Nations campaign, don’t worry, the Kildare man is never far from checking his stride to prioritise the upcoming clash with France as the most important game on his radar. But it’s also a step along the road to the ultimate goal.
“I think everyone involved wouldn’t be involved if they don’t have those ambitions. But like, you have got to work back from there…even if you got in a position where, say, you are in the ‘final’ there is still a lot of things out of your control for that to happen.
“But working back from that, it comes back to: ‘what we can do today? Build on that tomorrow.’
“You might have that long-term ambition, but one thing I have learned is that when you start looking down the road, it is the thing in front of you that kills you so you have to keep your eye in front of you and what’s going on.”

IRELAND SCORED A crucial Six Nations victory over France yesterday, to keep their hopes of winning the Championship alive.
It was a slow start for Joe Schmidt’s side, who slipped into a 6-0 deficit before man-of-the-match Conor Murray, lunged over to score a crucial try that proved to be a momentum-changer in the game.
This was Ireland’s second consecutive win in the tournament, following a disappointing loss to Scotland in their Six Nations opener.
Speaking at the post-game press conference, Ireland captain Rory Best pointed to improvements made in Ireland’s defence and the lessons they learned from the outing against Scotland.
“It’s something that since half-time in Scotland, we’ve really tried to push hard in defence. In the first-half against them it obviously wasn’t anywhere near good enough.
“We’ve worked very hard on it. There was the disallowed try so we’ll look at that and how we could have avoided that.
Best continued by highlighting the difficulties they faced in the phase play, and said they came in at half-time feeling they had more to give.
“I think we wanted to put pressure on them and wanted to take them through the phases. At the end of the first half I certainly felt we let them off a little, one or two more phases they might have run out of numbers.

“When we keep the ball and go through phases we always hope that teams will run out of gas eventually.
“I think we could have done more to keep the ball and ask a few questions but they’re a quality side.
“We knew they’d front up and keep coming at us and they did. They had a lot of power coming off the bench and that proved to be the case in the last quarter.”
Ireland will now refocus to face Wales, who suffered a second consecutive defeat yesterday following a 29-13 loss to Scotland, which effectively leaves them with nothing left to play for in the championship.

Best concluded that Ireland won’t be deviating from their normal preparation ahead of that assignment on 10 March, where a win would set up an intriguing Six Nations finale against England.
“I think we approach it the way we do every game. We’ll take a bit of a break tonight, enjoy the victory and enjoy each other’s company.
“We’ll sit down and look at what we did well, and what we didn’t do well. I’m sure Joe will pull some stuff out that we thought was alright and he thought we should do better.
“We’ll look at Wales and see what we have to improve. You have to get better every week in this championship because the other teams will.
“We have to improve again. It’ll be very tough but we’ve two weeks to prepare and we know the preparation is key for us.
“We’ll turn the page as quickly.”

JOE SCHMIDT DEFENDED Ireland’s decision to leave Conor Murray on the pitch after the scrum-half sustained an injury in the first half of Friday night’s 22-9 defeat to Wales in Cardiff.
Murray sustained what Schmidt said was a “stinger” in his left shoulder while making a tackle on George North, staying down on the turf and receiving treatment afterwards.

Within minutes, Murray took another heavy blow in a second tackle on North, but again played on.
It had been expected that the Munster man would be replaced by Kieran Marmion at the half-time break but Ireland instead waited until after North’s second try in the 45th minute to replace Murray.
“The shoulder was getting better all the time and through the half-time period, it improved sufficiently that he felt it was ok to go,” said Schmidt post-match.
“So we said, ‘Look, try it and see how it goes’ and he felt that he probably could have played on but we felt that, seeing how sharp his pass normally is, it wasn’t as good as it normally is.
“He probably had a 15 to 20% deficiency in his pass, so we said, ‘Look, we’re better off to get you off, look after you and we’ll get Kieran Marmion out there.’
“Conor was keen to try and see how he went in the second half because it was improving all the time and improved through the half-time break.”
Marmion was excellent off the Ireland bench, providing a noticeable lift in attacking energy and a crisp pass, as well as driving Ross Moriarty into touch at the end of one defensive set.
The Connacht man’s performance is encouraging in the event that Murray’s “stinger” proves to be an injury that sidelines him for next weekend’s clash with England at the Aviva Stadium.
Tommy Bowe is another doubt for that tie, having undergone an x-ray on Friday night following an unfortunate ankle injury, which he suffered despite only being sent onto the pitch as a replacement with the game already lost.
Schmidt says he won’t rush into any selection decisions. Source: Dan Sheridan/INPHO
Away from the possible injuries, there will be many calls for Schmidt to mix-up his team selection ahead of the visit of the English, but speaking after the defeat to the Welsh, he said he won’t be rushing into anything.
“I don’t think that any time after a Test match, you make those assessments,” said Schmidt.
“Obviously, I’ll go back and have a look at the game, the other coaches will go back and have a look at the game and we’ll get together tomorrow morning after having looked at the game and we’ll try to make sure that, first and foremost, we get the players recovered and in the right frame of mind to start another week.

“I think it’s incredibly disappointing for the players. They have put a heck of a lot of effort out on the pitch tonight and when you don’t get reward for that effort, it’s fairly demoralising.
“So you certainly don’t start talking about changes. That was one of the things about Welsh people talking about making changes. I thought a few of their best players tonight were the players that some conjecture was suggesting they change.
“I don’t think any coach immediately after a game has a knee-jerk reaction that he’s going to suddenly make changes or his coaching group is suddenly going to make makes. 48 hours, see how they turn out for training and then build toward the latter part of the week.
“By Thursday, you’ve got a pretty good idea of who’s fit and who’s in the best frame of mind to take on the challenge that will be immense for us next weekend.”

Missed chances, the Welsh backlash and more talking points from Cardiff‘We’ll only have ourselves to blame’: Rory Best laments missed chances in Wales defeat
JACK CONAN HAS always made it patently clear that he doesn’t want to play his rugby anywhere other than Leinster, and he is now focused on bringing his game to the next level ahead of the business end of the season.
The 24-year-old has developed into a quality operator at number eight and has seen his stock rise immeasurably over the course of a year which has seen him become a real force for Leinster.
Conan has put a frustrating injury layoff to one side to rediscover the devastating form which saw him initially break into Leinster set-up and then win his only international cap back in August 2015.
There had been suggestions the former St Gerard’s student should look for a move away from the RDS with as many as eight international back row forwards currently on the books at Leinster, but Conan wasn’t interested in looking elsewhere.

Conan, who will commit his future to the province at some stage over the coming weeks, admits it will be hard to displace Jamie Heaslip when Leo Cullen has a full deck to choose from again but he thrives off that competition.
“I never look too far into that,” he said, when asked if there were mixed feelings when Heaslip signed his new contract.

“Obviously for the club it’s great to have Jamie around for another few years. What he brings here and what he’s brought has been absolutely fantastic and I know I’ve learned a lot off him and we get on very well.
“It’s great to have him around for a few more years and keep learning off him and obviously over the next few months I’d like to push him closer and closer and hopefully some day it will be me starting head of him but at the moment he’s the best number eight in the country in my eyes so I’ll have to keep working hard.
Conan’s form in a blue shirt has been recognised by Joe Schmidt and he has spent the last few weeks in camp with Ireland at their base in Carton House before being released back to Leinster towards the end of the week.
It has allowed him to train with the senior squad and gain that invaluable experience as well as lining out for Leinster in the same week, although he’s the type of player that comes away disappointed he hasn’t done enough to force his way into Schmidt’s plans.
“I can’t complain [about his form],” he says. “Going alright, once I’m playing I’m happy. Have been putting decent performances back-to-back which is probably something I lacked a bit in previous years was consistency. Some good games and then I wouldn’t be as efficient as the one before.
“I just think I’m playing a bit more consistently and constantly doing things that are showing well so happy with the way I’m going at the moment.
Conan has scored four tries in the Pro12 as well as a European hat-trick against Montpellier. Source: Morgan Treacy/INPHO
“I’ve been down in camp the last few days and it would be great [to be involved] but that’s the way it is.
“Definitely that bit closer and definitely learning a lot from being down there and even though I might not have got an opportunity to play during the Six Nations, I’ve definitely gained a lot from the amount of time down there in the set up with the coaches and the rest of the lads. It has definitely been a worthwhile experience and you never know hopefully come the summer tour and a few of the lads are away I might get another opportunity to put my hand up for the green jersey.”
With crunch games coming up in the Pro12 and a Champions Cup quarter-final against Wasps coming down the track, Conan hopes to impress further and work his way into the reckoning for that tour of Japan in June.
“Please god, if I keep going the way I’m going I’ll be in the shop window for it,” he adds.
“I can only control with what I’m doing and I’m happy with the way I’m going. If I keep on going in the vein of form I’m in at the moment I’d like to think I’d be there.
“I have a bit of a chat with him [Joe]. He grabs you from time to time and says look you’re not involved this week but keep the faith and keep the head up and I’d talk to him about what I can improve on and things I need to do. There’s always positive feedback coming from him.”
Jack Conan was speaking at the launch of the 2017 Bank of Ireland Leinster School of Excellence. More information can be found here.
