Ireland retain Six Nations title with gritty win over valiant Scotland
Peter O'Mahony of Ireland lifts the Six Nations Trophy following the team's victory during the Six Nations 2024 match in Dublin, Ireland. Tries by Dan Sheehan and Andrew Porter got the Irish over the line as the hosts were thwarted time and again by a magnificent Scottish defence.
"Thankfully we went out and did it against a good team. We showed grit, ambition with the ball, and I thought we played some good rugby. Neither side could impose themselves on the game as defences held firm and there were few if any scoring opportunites leaving the match very much in the balance at the end of a scrappy first-half.
The Irish pressed but Calvin Nash was guilty of failing to pass as he closed on the line and the outstanding Scottish flanker Andy Christie forced a turnover.
