Ireland interim coach Simon Easterby lauded his side's performance in their dominant 32-18 victory over Scotland, praising their control of the game.
Scotland were hindered for much of the game by injuries to two of their brightest stars -- Finn Russell and Darcy Graham -- and holders Ireland made their advantage known.
"We did what we set out to do in the game," Easterby told BBC Sport. "We started strongly and limited Scotland to a few opportunities in the first half.
"We felt like we had control of the game in the first half and the scoreline reflected that."
"We were good at not giving their individuals opportunities," he added.
"They were hamstrung by injuries to Finn Russell and Darcy Graham, but we delivered an intent to attack in the right way.
"I thought Sam Prendergast put us in the right areas more often than not and that is what you need. We managed the game well throughout."
