  1. England 15-13 Irelandpublished at 64 mins

    Somebody must have hijacked Johnny Sexton's boot as he spoons a clearance out of play. It looks like he has some cramp - there are not many replacements left so he'll have to soldier on.

    Sam Burgess makes his first contribution of the game - it's a forward offload. It would have been very useful if it went in the right direction.

    Former Ireland captain Keith Wood on BBC Radio 5 live: "Ireland were disappointing in the first half. They haven't done a huge amount today and yet they're still in the game. They're a frustrating team to play against."

    "England needed to make some changes there. They were out on their feet. Ireland had no right to turn that ball over."

  8. England 15-13 Irelandpublished at 60 mins

    England have woken up. They go through numerous phases and George Ford fades into space but is just picked off.

    Ireland turn it over though and have a brilliant chance to counter - but Robbie Henshaw inexplicably chucks it forwards.

    England empty out the bench with the Vunipola brothers on, as well as Sam Burgess and Owen Farrell.

    Former Ireland captain Keith Wood on BBC Radio 5 live: "It's about time the forwards got in on the act. There was a lovely soft move around the back. Paul O'Connell's body position was perfect. A great score."

    Tom Court, ex-Ireland prop on BBC Radio Ulster:

    "Trust Paul O’Connell to get Ireland back into the game. England were caught short and nobody would stop him from there."

    How quickly things change, eh? Ireland are rejuvenated - a hundred times better than in the first half.

    Mike Brown has hit the ground and looked in pain. He's back up though and is part of an England attack that is snuffed out as Johnny Sexton rips the ball off Tom Wood 10 yards out.

    Try (Paul O'Connell, con Johnny Sexton)published at 53 mins

    England 15-13 Ireland

    Very nifty try this from Ireland. Devin Toner towers to win the line-out. Peter O'Mahony and Jamie Heaslip combine to rumble close to the line. Paul O'Connell is on hand to pick up the scraps and wriggle over.

    It's a simple conversion for Johnny Sexton.

    Matt Dawson
    Former England Scrum Half on BBC Radio 5 live

    "Ireland just about had the edge in the scrums in the first half, but England have sorted it out with a little tweaking. That's what's stood out for me. England have been so strategically right. There were only four missed tackles and seven turnovers in that first half. Those are the statistics that win you matches."

    It's right in front of the posts and Sexton does as you would expect him to.

    This is as close as Ireland have come to the English line after Dave Kearney's superb take of a high ball. Jamie Heaslip, Sean O'Brien and Paul O'Connell all make charges for the line. In the end England concede the penalty...

  18. Penalty (George Ford)published at 47 mins

    England 15-3 Ireland

    The angle is slightly to the right, but it's the distance that almost scuppers Ford. Just like Johnny Sexton in the first half, it's off the crossbar and over.

    England throttle that Ireland pressure by winning a penalty at the scrum. George Ford will go for the posts...
