Scotland v Ireland: Gordon D'Arcy and company start the match unbeaten at Murrayfield in the Six Nations since 2001
The visitors are nervous, conceding six penalties in the first 20 minutes, and Graeme Morrison driving Scotland on
All the first-half points come from the boot, Chris Paterson leading Ronan O'Gara by four penalties to three, 12-9 to Scotland
Despite the nerves, O'Gara's second penalty nudges him ahead of Jonny Wilkinson as the all-time leading Six Nations points-scorer
Ireland start the second half looking to keep the Grand Slam alive with Rory Best and Paul O'Connell surging on
The pressure finally turns the game green as Jamie Heaslip slides in following Peter Stringer's burst
An O'Gara drop-goal puts Ireland seven points clear, happy to drive and keep possession until another Paterson penalty score
Another O'Gara penalty subdues the Murrayfield hopeful and means Ireland v Wales will likely decide the Six Nations crown
