    Ireland 32-11 England

    England opt for a scrum but have to wait a minute as Tadhg Beirne drops to the floor with cramp.

    His team-mates help him stretch and we're off again as Ben Youngs goes left.

    This will go a long way for these Irish players. Their stock price has gone up by the minute regarding the Lions.

    James Adkins: Golden generation being wasted...resembles the Beckham football era sadly

    Philip West: Another absolute hammering for England. The Eddie Jones era seems to be falling apart, and you do wonder whether changes will be made. Time to make the Exeter Chiefs an offer for Rob Baxter?

    Ireland 32-11 England

    Ben Youngs makes it over the line but drops the ball.

    Conor Murray is penalised though and Ireland go down to 13 men for the last three minutes.

    Ireland 32-11 England

    England's forwards go again and again, trying to salvage a bit of pride in the final few minutes.

    Ben Youngs goes wider to Jamie George, but there is no way through for the hooker.

    Ireland 32-11 England

    England win another penalty and it's a quick tap from Ben Youngs this time.

    Ireland are pinged on the floor again and Ellis Genge gathers some mates to drive forward again. England are a couple of metres out.

    Ireland 32-11 England

    Peter O'Mahony is caught not releasing on the floor and England finally get a penalty of their own.

    Elliot Daly pokes it into the corner.

    Owen Farrell is, of course, wearing a mask in the stands but his eyes do not look happy at all as he watches Johnny Sexton take his tally to 22 points.

    Ireland are cruising - it's as if Ireland are not playing against a top tier nation. If I was an England fan, I'd be worried. What questions are going to be asked of the example set to the players from above?

    Johnny Sexton

    This is all great for Johnny Sexton's Lions chances. He is proving himself to be a calm and collected captain, claiming another three points.

    Ireland 29-11 England

    England look nothing like the side that claimed victory against New Zealand in the World Cup semi-final. Those days are long gone it seems.

    All the momentum is with Ireland as they drive a maul across the visitors' 22 and win another penalty. That is the 14th England have conceded. Their discipline has been appalling this Six Nations.

    Chris Kidd: Even as an @EnglandRugby, external fan I can’t believe that is a red card, possibly a yellow at worst

    Purple Tentacle: England's discipline is constantly poor, and is always the excuse when England lose. If Jones is unable to change this in his coaching, and he doesn't appear to be, then he needs to be replaced with somebody who will. Even with the red card, #Ireland, external are well on top

    Alan Ferguson: Seriously another red. Not having that when the Italy tackle earlier was a yellow. #bbcrugby, external

    Andrew Priestley: Red card? No chance. That’s just two big units coming together. Aki wraps his arms and fronts-up his man, not his fault if Vunipola runs at him with his head down like a rhino. Where else is he supposed to tackle him safely?

    England look awful. End of. Move on. Not annoyed at all.....

    Johnny Sexton

    There may have been the slightest glimpse of hope as Ireland went down to 14 men and Ben Youngs scored a try.

    But Johnny Sexton has surely slammed the door shut as he extends Ireland's lead to 18 with 10 minutes to go.

    Ireland 26-11 England

    England's George Martin is on for his debut but there's not much to celebrate as his side concede another penalty and give Johnny Sexton the chance to extend Ireland's lead.

    Ireland 26-11 England

    Ireland immediately quell any sort of comeback with some nice attacking play as Johnny Sexton sends Jacob Stockdale down the left touchline.

    Conor Murray box-kicks and Elliot Daly fails the test as Ireland regain possession on England's 22.

    Hmmmmm, game on?

    Ireland will hope to have built up enough momentum to see this out, but my goodness what a comeback it would be.

    That's Aki's second red card for Ireland, he was sent off for a similar incident in the World Cup against Samoa.

    That's a system error right there. That will be shown up and the lads won't like that.
