Ireland come out all guns blazing and Keith Earls combines well with Paul O'Connell, but their early pressure comes to nothing in the final Six Nations game at Croke Park before they return to the rebuilt Lansdowne Road
A Dan Parks penalty gives Scotland an early lead but Ireland hit back with a try from Brian O'Driscoll which is successfully converted by Jonathan Sexton
Jonnie Beattie responds immediately for the Scots with a try three minutes later. After build up from the forwards, the number eight holds off Paul O'Connell to stretch his arm over the line.
Despite missing the conversation, Parks kicks a successful penalty and a drop-goal on the cusp of half-time to give the visitors a 14-7 lead at half-time
Scotland's strong defence manages to tie up Stephen Ferris and restrict Ireland. Another Parks penalty puts Scotland 17-7 ahead before Sexton responds to make it 10-17
Tommy Bowe gets his third try of the tournament after a sustained period of Irish pressure. Ronan O'Gara converts successfully to draw the home side level at 17-17
Dan Parks converts yet another Scottish penalty, putting the visitors 20-17 ahead but Ronan O'Gara draws the sides level again. Parks seals a 23-20 victory with his fifth penalty to deny Ireland the Triple Crown
