Ireland’s women had fans on the edge of their seats in incredible last gasp victory

Our heart rate has yet to drop

This one went down to the wire.

Ireland won their opening Six Nations match against Scotland 22-15 in a captivating match at Broadwood.

Ireland will be disappointed with the performance considering they were heavy favourites coming into the match but a number of unforced errors and a failure to land conversions from their first three tries meant that the game was still in the balance in the dying seconds of the match.

Although there was an element of frustration with the display, it was a thrilling game to watch and it was nigh on impossible to predict a winner as the game entered the final minutes.

Thankfully, Ireland crashed over in the dying seconds of the match to secure a memorable victory.

It’s safe to say that Ireland rose our blood pressure to unhealthy levels throughout the match.
