Pictured above: Simon Easterby claims a lineout at Lansdowne Road. Ireland boasted a 100% record on their own lineout throw – collecting all 21 of Jerry Flannery’s darts – by the finish, with the Scots struggling on their own set piece ball.
Modestly, Munster hooker Flannery paid tribute to his team mates, saying: “If you look at our pack we have so many good second rows in Paul O’Connell, Malcolm O’Kelly and Donncha O’Callaghan. But on top of that, the Bull (John Hayes) is probably the best lifter in world rugby and Marcus Horan is not far behind him, which makes my job a lot easier.”
