Ireland's women got their Six Nations campaign off to a winning start after a last minute try gave them a 22-15 win over Scotland.
The game got off to a bad start for the visitors when Jade Konkel crashed over to give Scotland a 7-0 lead, after Sarah Law's conversion.
Ireland got a try of their own when Sene Naoupu dotted down in the corner to bring the score to 7-5. Allison Miller dived in the same corner later in the half to give Ireland a 10-7 lead.
Konkel got her second of the match and Law added a penalty to give the home side a 15-10 lead at the break.
Lindsay Peat crashed over for the women in green in the 52nd minute and the scores remained tied until the final play of the match.
Scotland dominated most of the second half but Ireland gained territory in the Scottish 22 late on and made the home side pay for wasting numerous chances earlier in the half.
In the last move of the game, Jenny Murphy took a beautiful line cutting back in against the Scottish defence and scored beneath the posts. Nora Stapleton added the extras as Ireland ran out 22-15 winners.
