Impressive Ireland beat Scotland to win Triple Crown
Half an hour after the latest Scotland debacle in Dublin, Jack Dempsey walked up the touchline at the Aviva Stadium in his underpants. No shorts, no socks, no boots.
No Triple Crown, no hope of winning the Six Nations title, no end to their hideous run of defeats against Ireland - now standing at 12 and with no discernible sign of it stopping there.
Dempsey had been shorn of many things by a thunderous Ireland performance - a revisiting of a familiar narrative. Irish power and Irish ruthlessness. Irish creativity and class, too.
Scotland battled to stay in touch, but it was a grind.
