    I can hardly keep up with the action; it has been an immense performance from Ireland so far!

    The record crowd have been treated to an afternoon to remember and I have a feeling they will be up cheering after a few more Ireland tries soon.

    Ireland 26-0 Scotland

    A pair of crooked throws from each hooker means it is a scrum down to Ireland between the Scottish 10 and 22.

    A spillage from Emily Lane gives Scotland a rare respite. They are sucking in air as Ireland's pace and intensity is giving them trouble.

    Helen Nelson clears her lines but it only goes as far as the 22 so Scotland will be under the cosh again.

    The bonus point is sealed inside the opening 20 minutes as captain Erin King gets over from close range this time. A rarity as Dannah O'Brien pushes the conversion wide but what a stunning opening on a beautiful day in front of a packed Aviva Stadium.

    Dream studff for Ireland.

    I am not sure Scott Bemand could have asked for much more from his side in the opening 15 minutes.

    They have been clinical and ruthless every time they have pushed forward.

    Ireland open up the score even further as, after a strong lineout, the pack patiently go through the phases.

    Initially, Aoife Wafer was getting the congratulations but it is not her red scrum hat but Brittany Hogan's blue one that burrows over and Dannah O'Brien adds the easy extras.

    The dream day continues.

    Penalty to Ireland inside the Scottish 22. The visitors are struggling to keep up with the pace of play as Ireland are feeding off this incredible atmosphere.

    A big talking point throughout the Six Nations for Ireland has been the importance of a fast start and they have made a really strong one this afternoon.

    It is maybe no surprise in front of this record crowd, who are encouraging their side forward.

    Two well-worked tries and two perfect conversions.

    Robyn O'Connor (O'Brien con)

    Once again, Ireland dominate up front which sets the table for this electric backline. The ball is worked wide left to Robyn O'Connor who steps inside and speeds away over the line.

    A stunning try from the winger and Dannah O'Brien continues to be metronomic off the tee.

    Ireland's pack are dominating early on and, after a Scottish penalty at the ruck, they go to the corner and drive over the line. Hooker Cliodhna Moloney-MacDonald is the one at the back of the maul to dot down.

    No nerves from Dannah O'Brien off the tee either as she nails a far-from-simple conversion. A perfect start for the hosts!

    As expected, Ireland received a huge roar as they entered the pitch, and the crowd were certainly loud during Ireland's Call.

    I had goosebumps so I can't even begin to imagine how the players would have felt on the pitch!

    What an atmosphere this afternoon and the match hasn't even started!

    The early afternoon rain has given way to a lovely, sunny Sunday at the Aviva Stadium.

    Scott Bemand will know that the result of today’s match will be a major factor in determining whether this Six Nations campaign is considered a significant step forward for his side.

    A positive result would mean three home wins in the Six Nations, but it will be a tough task against Scotland who, despite struggling for form this year, were the victors the last time these sides met.

  17. Ireland want clean sweep of home wins - Parsonspublished at 14:27 BST 17 May

    Ireland winger Beibhinn Parsons said that her side want to end the Women's Six Nations on a high with a third home win of the campaign when they take on Scotland.

    Scott Bemand's side have beaten Italy in Galway and Wales in Belfast and are aiming for victory over Scotland at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin in front of what is set to be a record crowd with over 28,000 tickets sold.

    Parsons, who has scored three tries in those two wins, wants Ireland to produce a complete performance on Sunday after they failed to hit the heights of the win over Italy in their hard-fought victory against Wales last weekend.

    "I don't think it was our best performance. We definitely have some areas we need to improve on," she told BBC Sport NI.

    "We talked about having a fast start and I'm not really sure we got that on the weekend, so it's wiped away any complacency that might have built up.

    "I think this week we will go into with really sharp minds and know exactly what we want to execute on."

    A win would help Ireland finish third in the table again behind England and France, and Parsons believes finishing with a flourish on Sunday would show they are still on an upward trajectory after they were beaten by Scotland in last year's tournament.

    "We know we want to be a real contender in the Six Nations, a top two team in the tournament and a top four of the world and that means we have to focus on ourselves and what we want to execute," she added.

    "We're targeting a home win."

  20. Scotland can 'really turn it on when it matters' - Kingpublished at 14:18 BST 17 May

    Ireland v Scotland (14:30 BST)

    Ireland captain Erin King has warned that Scotland can "really turn it on when it matters" as the teams prepare to meet at the Aviva Stadium,

    Scott Bemand's Ireland have won two of their four games in the Women's Six Nations so far, against Italy and Wales, and are aiming for their third home victory in their final game against the Scots, who have just one victory from their four fixtures.

    But King, who has started all four of Ireland's games, is wary of the threat a wounded Scotland may pose after they beat the Irish 26-19 in last year's tournament.

    "You only have to look at the Six Nations last year to see they really turn it on when it matters. They beat us last year and we don't want that to happen again," King told BBC Sport NI.

    "It's going to be a great challenge, they have some great backs and physical forwards. The way they play is great, so I think it will be another physical battle that we're looking forward to.

    "We want to go into that game all guns blazing. We've tried to get those three home wins so we'd be really happy for that to happen."

    The game will be the first standalone Women's Six Nations fixture at the Dublin venue and over 28,000 tickets have already been sold for an occasion King is relishing.

    "We knew the Aviva game was at the end of the Six Nations. Now it's the one on the weekend, we're all ecstatic and to hear the amount of tickets being sold and buzz around it, it's really exciting," King added.

    "The history this stadium holds and the history we're going to make on Sunday has really made us think of the women who have come before us and paved the way for us.

    "We're the lucky ones who get to wear the jersey, but it doesn't go unnoticed the work that's gone on before us."
