EDINBURGH, Scotland — Ireland has taken a huge step to an unprecedented third straight Six Nations title by securing a bonus-point 32-18 win at Scotland, which lost two key players in the first half to a nasty clash of heads at Murrayfield. The Irish backed up an opening-round victory over England and leads on a maximum 10 points. They have met two of their toughest opponents already. With a trip to rock-bottom Wales next in two weeks and a closing match at Italy, only France might be able to stop Ireland winning a third successive outright title. That hasn't been achieved in the 142-year history of the tournament.
