Joe Ansbro's try proved the difference as Scotland beat Ireland at Murrayfield

Ansbro grabs winning try for Scotland

Joe Ansbro was the hero for Scotland as his late try secured a scrappy 10-6 victory over Ireland at Murrayfield.

The hosts enjoyed the early control of the game and looked like getting on the scoresheet inside five minutes as Nikki Walker broke through, only for the move to break down under the posts.

And Ireland had Rob Kearney to thank after he did enough to force Walker into a fumble with the line at his mercy.

The men in green offered little going forward but still took the lead as Jonathan Sexton kicked an easy penalty on 33 minutes.

Chris Paterson, in search of his fourth World Cup, levelled things up five minutes after the restart before Sexton restored the three-point lead.

But just as the game looked to be winding down Scotland burst into life, Nick De Luca cutting through Ireland’s defence before cleverly releasing Ansbro who touched down for the win.
