  1. England 21-13 Ireland (FT)published at 16:31

    Ireland can be pleased with their improvement in that second half and clipped the wind out of England's sails. The last 20 minutes or so are pretty much a write off, with the rhythm affected by all the changes.

    "If this was a serious, serious international there is no way Paul O'Connell would be on the bench now."

    Tough one this. It's far out to the right but Farrell clips inside the far post.

    Ireland make a mess of this. They gamble by chucking it around in their own half and then don't release at the breakdown. England can finish it off with the upcoming penalty.

    Owen Farrell and Sam Burgess combine in midfield and try to tee up Courtney Lawes - but it's tricky one to hold on to and he concedes the scrum with a knock-on.

    Breathing room for England. It's straight through the posts from Owen Farrell, whose kick is from a few yards to the left of the posts.

    "I think the England bench have all looked good in the second half, that's been a bit of a bonus. For Ireland, having had two games in a row like this will stand them in good stead for the World Cup."

    ...and they win a penalty from it. Owen Farrell steps up.

    Ten minutes to sort out the men from the boys.

    Jonny May almost gets lucky with a ricochet off his boot but it trickles out of play. Rolling maul now from England...

    We could argue forever whether Wigglesworth wiggled over. It's very close. But it doesn't matter.

    Two phases back Tom Wood has taken the ball out of the ruck from an offside position - which makes the officials' job a lot easier.

    Has Richard Wigglesworth crept over for England? We're going upstairs.

    Madigan is introduced to the action by a trademark Courtney Lawes tackle. Jared Payne makes some yards but Jonathan Joseph stops him in his tracks and Chris Robshaw regains English possession.

    Johnny Sexton makes way - Ian Madigan will slot in at 10. Can he spark an Irish win?

    Johnny Sexton tests that calf muscle almost immediately, this time getting more purchase on his clearance.

    Former Ireland captain Keith Wood on BBC Radio 5 live:  "Johnny Sexton hasn't played a huge amount of rugby recently, and he's easing his way back into it. He's been pretty decent today."
