TWEETS: The reaction to Ireland’s defeat to Scotland in the Six Nations

A hell of a game in Murrayfield.

Ireland have opened their Six Nations campaign with a defeat to Scotland in Murrayfield. The Scots ran in three first half tries and Keith Earls touched down for Joe Schmidt's side to leave it 21-8 at the break. The mood on Twitter wasn't good. https://twitter.com/muirfoynes/status/827900191722319873 https://twitter.com/denismbell/status/827899376429314049 https://twitter.com/Schmoo1408/status/827900785606459393 Ireland started the second half well with Iain Henderson forcing his way over, Paddy Jackson added the extras. Jamie Heaslip and Rob Kearney went close before Jackson scored a try just after the hour mark. Scotland kept their composure, stayed strong in defence and fought back with two penalties to win 27-22.
