Scotland’s Six Nations campaign - and hopes of the title and a Triple Crown - are over after a 43-21 defeat by Ireland in Dublin.
Gregor Townsend’s side began “Super Saturday” dreaming of a maiden Six Nations title and the minimum of a first Triple Crown in 36 years.
But Ireland continued their remarkable decade-long dominance of the fixture with a 12th consecutive victory over the Scots to move top of the championship table for the time being at least.
Andy Farrell’s men – Six Nations champions in 2023 and 2024 – now require England to beat France in Paris in order to reclaim the ultimate prize and launch a St Patrick’s weekend party.
We give each player a mark out of ten for their performance in Dublin.
13. Huw Jones
Poor pass at end of first half and made an uncharacteristic knock-on in the second. Didn't quite hit top gear. 6 | SNS Group
14. Darcy Graham
Bagged Scotland's opening try but a penalty concession led to Ireland scoring not long after. Couple of jinking runs - always a danger. 7 | SNS Group / SRU
15. Blair Kinghorn
Solid under a high ball and a constant menace when running at Ireland. One of Scotland's best players. 8 | SNS Group
16. The replacements
Ewan Ashman, left, came on early for Turner and fared well (7). Magnus Bradbury was summoned at No 8. Kyle Rowe came on but was then forced off for Tom Jordan. George Horne, Rory Sutherland, D'arcy Rae and Alex Craig also came in. | SNS Group
