Not good.
Tempers have boiled over early in the second half between Ireland and Scotland following an incident sparked by Ollie Smith on Johhny Sexton.
Smith left his leg out during a break in play, tripping Sexton who did not take too kindly to the actions of the Scottish replacement.
A mass brawl then broke out between the players, with Scotland prop Pierre Schoeman sending Dan Sheehan flying over the advertising hoardings.
Schoeman escaped punishment with the referee deciding to sin-bin Smith for starting the ruckus. But Sheehan has the last laugh, dotting down in the corner just minutes later for Ireland’s fifth try to give them a 31-0 at the time of writing.

"I have a serious issue with what he did there!"
Ollie Smith has been shown a yellow card for tripping Johnny Sexton. But Alan Quinlan thinks Pierre Schoeman should have been punished for shoving Dan Sheehan over the hoardings in the melee afterwards.#IREvSCO | #RWC2023 pic.twitter.com/BHk1hLXjkR
