Pictured above: South African referee Jonathan Kaplan strains to see David Wallace’s grounding of his try. The 24th-minute score, which went unconverted, was awarded – it was flanker Wallace’s 5th try in 25 Tests.
Wallace is already looking forward to Scotland’s visit to Lansdowne Road on March 11. He said: “My run in the team has done a lot for me. Your confidence can dip if you don’t get a regular run in the side. But it’s great to get some consistency – this season is going well for me.
“I scored a try last time I played Scotland. It was a great day. I came in from the blue after watching Ireland’s previous games from home. I got my chance when Keith Gleeson was injured and it was brilliant to be part of that Triple Crown side. It would be great to do that again.
“Scotland played a really aggressive, in your face defence against England and deserved to win. It will be a tough match in two weeks’ time.”
