Scots shock Irish

Mar 20 2010

Scotland produced one of their best performances in recent memory to beat Ireland 23-20 in a sensational last-ever Test at Croke Park and avoid the RBS 6 Nations wooden spoon.

Dan Parks won his third man-of-the-match award of the tournament with an outstanding display that included 18 points and the winning penalty in 79th minute.

Johnnie Beattie also scored a rare try for the visitors, while Brian O'Driscoll touched down for Ireland, whose other points were kicked by Jonathan Sexton and Ronan O'Gara as they missed out on a fifth triple crown in seven years.
