Former Ireland captain on BBC One

"England haven't been able to respond to the need to give away fewer penalties. They need to be more disciplined."

Chris Robshaw shovels into the side of a ruck and Craig Joubert pings the England captain. Penalty on the England 10m line and off slightly to the right.

It suits Johnny Sexton's favoured right peg and he makes the kick with space to spare on either post.

The first glimmer of Anthony Watson's stardust as he steps a scuple of defenders, before being dragged to the floor. The game feels more open than ever.

"What a run from Alex Goode to rescue the situation - it looked like he was going to fall over every step."

Brilliant from Alex Goode! He had the hoofs of a hundred Ireland chasers thundering in his ears as he collects the ball on his own line, but he keeps his cool to dodge a trio of them and run the ball back up to the England 22m line.

Rob Kearney collects England clearing kick and takes on an ambitious dropper. Just wide.

Frantic start to the second half.

Jack Nowell finds himself one on one with Rob Kearney out on the left wing. He steps right, he steps left and Kearney steps right into him with a big shoulder to take him into touch.

Alex Goode comes through another aerial examination. Good take from the Saracens man. And he booms a kick back downfield.

Johnny Sexton's kick-off is a sky-scraper and Tommy Bowe very nearly steals possession for Ireland.

Here is a stat to give you hope England fans.

Your side averages 13.5 points in the third quarter (40-60 minutes) of their two matches this season, over 10 more than any other side (Ireland & Scotland (3), Italy (2.5), Wales & France (1.5).

The teams are back out. No changes. Let's get going.

If the scores are the same with 10 minutes to go, does Stuart Lancaster pull the Danny Cipriani emergency cord?

The Sale maestro might be the route to a try in a tight game.

Former Ireland winger on BBC Radio 5 live

"I think Ireland are probably worthy of a nine-point lead but I think they will look at the period before half-time where they were in the England 22 and couldn't make it count.

"Joe Schmidt will be happy with the precision and power-plays in the first half and they have looked a more slick team and they are working together better than England are."

"I think Johnny Sexton is doing very well - his kicking has put England under lots of pressure. I like George Ford and his vision, but I wonder sometimes if the men outside him see the bigger picture like he does. You perhaps saw that when Luther Burrell was caught in midfield when he needed to throw the ball wide."

Nick: Sexton is bossing this, Ford is getting schooled.

JavelBleach: Ireland need a try. Will not be relaxed until then.

Jon Salinger: Ireland want to win this game much more than England currently do.

Kate Shaw: Wake up England. Am going to throw my phone into the television in a minute.

"England have made a few key tactical errors. Ireland will be saying 'we're in control, but we've got to keep the scoreboard ticking over'."

Brian Moore
Former England hooker on BBC One

"Both sides have cause for optimism. England aren't too far behind; Ireland have been more precise when it counted."

Jack Nowell is bundled out of play over on the wing and the Craig Joubert sounds the final whistle of the first half.

England with the last play of the half and Dylan Hartley finds his man at the line-out on halfway...

"Small margins, small errors. One knock-on cost Ireland 70 yards."

Ireland are well positioned on the England 22m, but the chance goes down the swanny as Johnny Sexton's inside ball bullets against Tommy Bowe's shoulder and forward.

Jack Nowell doesn't wait for the whistle, racing outside a couple of forwards, hacking ahead and pressuring the Ireland back three to earn an England line-out up on the Ireland 22m.

"I have been very impressed with Ireland so far. They are so slick and precise and are reading England so well choosing when and when not to compete and they know they can attack. There is so much preparation gone into this game."
