Scotland’s 2024 Six Nations campaign ended in defeat after going down 17-13 against Ireland in Dublin.
Gregor Townsend’s men put up a brave fight against one of the best teams in the world but eventually caved in to incessant Irish pressure in the second half, with tries from Dan Sheehan and Andrew Porter allowing the Irish to retain their title.
Scotland set up a grandstand finish of their own with a late Huw Jones try, but it was not enough in the end.
Here are the player ratings from Scotland’s last match of the campaign:
13. Huw Jones
Brilliant try in the 77th minute as he wriggled free of the Irish defence to cap off a very good personal performance. 7 Photo: Brian Lawless
14. Kyle Steyn
Worked hard defensively as Scotland found themselves under the cosh for long periods. Coped well under the high ball and had no real opportunities to attack Ireland down the flank. 6 Photo: PAUL FAITH
15. Blair Kinghorn
Good under the high ball in first half and created a half-chance for himself with kick-chase just before half-time. One moment after the break could have proved costly when he tried to keep in play a high ball and fumbled. Made more metres than any other Scot. 7 Photo: Brian Lawless
