Townsend admits that first-half horror show cost Scotland against Irish at Murrayfield Gregor Townsend lamented a woeful first-half performance after Scotland were blown away by Ireland in their Six Nations clash at Murrayfield.
The Irish led 17-0 after half an hour following a dismal opening period which saw Scotland lose Finn Russell and Darcy Graham to injury, as well as having Duhan van der Merwe sent to the sin bin.
‘We didn’t play well enough today,’ admitted Townsend, who has failed to beat Ireland throughout his tenure as Scotland head coach.
Rory Darge's pain is clear to see as dominant Ireland coast to another victory over Scotland.
Scotland have now lost 11 straight games against Ireland, with the first-half horror show setting the tone for another painful afternoon.
