Ireland A scored a well-merited victory over their Scottish counterparts at the RDS to gain some revenge for last year's record 67-7 defeat by the same opponents.
Ireland cut a sorry sight 12 months ago when they conceded 10 tries to a rampant Scottish side in Perth, but Michael Bradley's men ran out easy winners in this rematch.
Jonathan Sexton was the sole try-scorer as the Irish carved out a 14-3 half-time lead but second-half efforts from John Muldoon and Eoin Reddan, allied to a penalty try, put the result beyond doubt.
Scotland A threw everything at the hosts in an expansive final quarter and they put together the best attacking move of the match to send winger Jim Thompson over in injury-time.
Ruaridh Jackson made his first start at this level at fly-half, leading a Scottish back-line that included three full internationals in Ben Cairns, Rob Dewey and Sean Lamont.
With Ed Kalman being drafted into the Scottish senior squad as cover, Stuart Corsar got the nod at tighthead prop.
The Irish started with six full internationals in their side, including Gavin Duffy at full-back and Reddan at scrum-half.
Young flanker Sean O'Brien's crunching tackle set up a first penalty of the night for Sexton and he also gave the scoring pass for Sexton's 27th-minute try.
Sexton, another player with a bright future, landed three out of four penalty attempts to put the hosts 9-0 ahead by the 22nd minute.
Ireland A went further ahead when Ryan Caldwell pinched a ruck ball and O'Brien powered forward before sending Sexton over in the left corner.
Jackson missed his first attempt at the posts but after a jinking run by his half-back partner Mark McMillan, Scotland A were awarded a second kickable penalty which Jackson made no mistake with.
But by the 50th minute, Ireland A were out of sight at 28-3. The Scottish scrum gave way in successive set pieces, near their line, leaving referee James Jones no option but to award a penalty try.
Scottish tighthead Young was then sin-binned for bringing down a scrum, and Irish number eight Muldoon soon picked off the base to burst over behind the posts for try number three.
Sexton converted both and with Reddan beginning to make his mark in open play, the Wasps scrum half followed up on a Muldoon drive to crash over the line on the hour.
Replacements Gordon Ross, Steve Swindall and Andrew Turnbull helped the visitors get back on the front foot and after Irish replacement Niall Ronan saw yellow for killing the ball, some great continuity was finished off by Thompson for a consolation try.
