GALLERY: Ireland's Six Nations hopes suffer Scottish blow

Ireland's hopes of a Six Nations Grand Slam came to a shuddering halt after Joe Schmidt's side lost 27-22 in Murrayfield.  

Two first-half tries from Stuart Hogg, and a third from Alex Dunbar set the home side up for their first win over Ireland in Edinburgh since 2013.

A resiliant comeback by Ireland in the second-half saw the away side briefly take the lead, but two late Greig Laidlaw penalties handed the Scots a famous win.
