Strong at scrum time, powerful in the carry and effective in defence, Boyle was outstanding. Charlie Tector added the extras for a 7-0 lead inside six minutes. Postlethwaite was sent to the bin and that allowed Scotland to get on the board, as Ross McKnight got a late try that was scant consolation. Boyle was everywhere in the opening stages and having won a turnover penalty, it set the platform to get the rout underway. The contest was over by half-time, as Ireland were already 33-0 to the good and very much out of sight. For just the third time in the country's history at this level, Ireland completed the clean sweep, and they did so in emphatic style by obliterating Scotland in front of a packed Musgrave Park.
