close to matching the irish so so far. let's hearfrom both camps. an incredibly tough game. i think any time we come to murrayfield, you know you're in a test match. it was no different today, it was one of the toughest first halves of rugby i have played, the pace it was played at. if you haven't played for four weeks or a lot of guys coming back would be shocked a little bit by the pace, but we will be better for it. the amount of injuries we had and just to catch it and have kieran healy come in and play hooker, he can play tight head and hooker now, it is amazing feat, so fair play to him. he kept us in the game because we would have had to go down to 40 men if he didn't. i would rather talk _ about the first—half than the second half because the second half was disappointing. i we had opportunities _ in the first—half and it was a real high energy performance. ireland played well too. what you call a proper test match. and then both teams were a little bit fatigued in the beginning -
7:37 pm
of the second half and it was there for us to lift the _ energy and we didn't. we weren't accurate enough at times and ireland grew in confidence - and were obviously clearly- the better team in that second half. it was a proper test match. scotland will sign off against italy next saturday. you know, if wales do a job on the french in paris, unlikely, i know, then ireland could be crowned six nations champions even before they face england, but it's not about becoming but it's not about becoming champions, it's all about the grand slam. and that is what they will be looking to do in dublin next saturday to bring this championship to a close. you just can't imagine after england getting trounced by the french, actually turning their form around to shock the irish, so expect the world number one team to be grand slam champions as well. 0lly foster there. to the premier league now — and it was another first—class performance from arsenal this afternoon. the gunners breezed past fulham to restore the five—point advantage
