Rob Kearney produced a brilliant display for Ireland as they moved to within touching distance of the 2018 NatWest 6 Nations title.

The full-back was a constant threat under the high ball and caused Scotland all sorts of problems with ball in hand as Ireland claimed a 28-8 victory in Dublin.

That leaves them ten points clear of England with Eddie Jones’s side now needing two bonus point-wins to have a chance denying Ireland the title.

Kearney was a standout in Dublin, making 140 metres with ball in hand, the most of any player. He also added a couple of clean breaks and three defenders beaten in a great all-round display.
