Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend: "Finn [Russell is] fine. He actually passed his HIA but our staff sensed he wasn't totally aware of what was going on, so we made the call to not put him back on. "Darcy [Graham] is at hospital now, I've not had an update. I think everything was OK with his neck but they were checking out concussion.

Gregor Townsend wants perspective after Scotland’s Six Nations loss to Ireland - Sunday’s demoralising defeat at the hands of an Irish side chasing a third consecutive title brought a familiar sense of deflation for Scotland.

The Scots have lost each of their last 10 meetings against the Irish in a run stretching back to February 2017.

Watch as Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend speaks to BBC Sport after his side's disappointing 32-18 loss against Ireland in the Six Nations.

Ireland began their bid for a record third successive Six Nations title with a 27-22 win over England in Dublin, while Scotland demonstrated admirable resolve to beat Italy 31-19 in Edinburgh after the Azzurri drew level at 19-19.
