“Vunipola is getting treatment on his shoulder which will be a concern going forward given what he brings.”

Dylan Hartley was stopped before the line. "That's clearly a double movement," says referee Romain Poite and the crowd hiss once he's made his decision known.

England threatening, rumbling forward. Billy Vunipola again the wrecking ball, rattling Ireland's foundations... the hosts very much on the front foot... captain Dylan Hartley wriggles over the line, but was there a double movement? Was he held up? Stand by...

Treknow Pete: Sitting in a hotel room in Krakow imagining an England team that don't give away penalties.

Small Man Peaky: England continuing to commit exactly the same mistakes as they have for the past five years.

Keep imagining, Pete!

What's this? Billy Vunipola sneaking through the blindside... the number eight looks back at the referee to make sure he's ok to carry on... carry on he does, rumbling down the left wing like a bowling ball... Andrew Trimble is the pin, knocked flat on the floor - but with the tryline looming Vunipola is gang tackled into touch. 

Eddie Jones will be concerned with the regularity at which England are conceding penalties and, ultimately, possession and territory. But, this time, it's Ireland who are penalised at the scrum, the front row falling to the floor as if they've been drinking hard liquor all afternoon. A promising position for England...

“What a passage of play. A bit of a let-off for Ireland getting a penalty there after Robshaw doesn't release.”

Maro Itoje using his bulk to burst through two Ireland defenders... The 21-year-old debutant giving us a glimpse of why expectations on him are so high. The move comes to nothing, though. The men in white ultimately coughing up possession. Chris Robshaw the man isolated among a heap of green. 

Michael Shaw: Already England's penalty count is too high.

Daryl Guard: We're making good ground and getting into great positions but are ruining it with stupid penalties again.

A collective groan from the majority inside Twickenham as Owen Farrell's penalty rattles the upright, drifting wide by the width of a butterfly's wing. Ireland off the hook.

First 15 minutes: Scores level, both teams have had the same amount of possession...there's little to choose between these two so far.

Robbie Henshaw is deemed to have obstructed Owen Farrell in midfield as the England centre chased Johnny Sexton and this is another chance for the Saracens man.

Joe Marler penalised at the ruck, shoving a man in green out of the way illegally.

Johnny Sexton with the touch finder, Ireland inside the opposition 22...danger for England... but, hang on, from attack to defence... the men in green falter, England boot downfield and Rob Kearney sweeps up the danger, holding firm under intense pressure.

"Ireland lack that bit of running gas that England have and with England looking to the wide channels, I hope Ireland don’t get caught there."

Decibels rise inside HQ as England's backline roll into action... Jonathan Joseph to Jack Nowell... metres made but defences not broken... 

Naughty. CJ Stander putting his body in the way on the floor and that's gifted an opportunity to Owen Farrell from about 32m out. The England centre rattles off the penalty to draw his team level.

For all their recent Six Nations success - champions for the past two seasons - Twickenham has been a less happy hunting ground for Ireland. Only once in the last decade have they won here, when Tommy Bowe's late try six years ago stole the match at the death.

Anthony Watson is back on his feet, walking rather gingerly, and from a promising position England are now having to defend an Ireland line-out in their own half after England are penalised for a "neck roll". The Irishmen have started this match the better. 

Josh Reed: Dan Cole gives a penalty away. In other news, water is wet.

"There has obviously been a lot of talk about Sexton in the build up to this but that should settle him into the game."

Anthony Watson picks the ball up from his shoelaces and Fred Astaire-like footwork on the left wing earns him some space, much to the delight of the Twickenham faithful. The winger, though, is currently receiving treatment, the hamstring perhaps unable to withstand to such speed.
