    Ireland 10-3 England

    Well, well, well.

    That's a lovely boost for Ireland. But they're a bit too overexcited and quickly give away a penalty at the scrum.

    Owen Farrell is going to try and trim the deficit.

    What a fantastic training ground move! Brilliant over the top line-out, they split England apart. Keith Earls had plenty to do, he still had to run around Jonny May and he's been around a few years but boy Keith Earls can finish!

    That is a high-risk play, and if Jack Conan doesn't do his job perfectly there Ireland could quickly have found themselves in a lot of trouble.

    Keith Earls, armed with a new one-year contract, hits the line perfectly and that will give Ireland all the belief in the world.

    Keith Earls is away!

    Rob Herring sends the line-out long and number eight Jack Conan leaps up into the air and bats the ball back into Earls hands basketball style.

    From there, it is all Earls as he speeds through defenders to score.

    Johnny Sexton adds an extra two.

    England string some nice passes together. Owen Farrell to Jonny May to Elliot Daly, who is brought to the floor.

    Their momentum is soon halted as Mako Vunipola is penalised for a neck roll at the breakdown. England do look like their trying to build on the improved attack against France last weekend.

    Cian Healy is my daughter's godfather, so I am biased! Kilcoyne is good for the last 30, but I'd start with Healy all day long.

    Ireland prop Dave Kilcoyne goes off for a head injury assessment after a clash with Kyle Sinckler.

    Cian Healy comes on.

    The ball is up in the air again. This time thanks to Conor Murray and Elliot Daly gathers.

    George Ford sends up his own question and it bounces in front of Murray, leaving Ireland with work to do behind their tryline.

    The hosts do end up managing to clear to touch.

    Johnny Sexton

    All straightforward for 99-cap Johnny Sexton as he pops it over from in front of the posts.

    He or Owen Farrell could end up being the Lions goal-kicker this summer so every one counts.

    Ireland 0-3 England

    Ireland's defence is solid and they win a scrum. Johnny Sexton sends up a tester for Elliot Daly and the full-back can't quite get out of danger with Robbie Henshaw all over him.

    The hosts win a penalty on the floor and Sexton is going to have a go at the posts.

    By playing behind the gain line with Ireland, England are going to be in trouble.

    Ok maybe not so relentless. England push early in the scrum and give away their try-scoring opportunity.

    Johnny Sexton sends the free-kick into touch and England will have a line-out just inside their half.

    Ireland 0-3 England

    England drive across the tryline from a line-out, but Ireland manage to hold the ball up.

    It's been relentless from the visitors so far.

    England are doing what a lot of teams have done against Jacob Stockdale, which is make the big man turn around. England are smart and have done their homework on him to make him turn around.

    Ireland 0-3 England

    George Ford spots a bit of space in the back-field and gives Jacob Stockdale a bit of a handful.

    Impressive chasing from Jonny May and last-minute replacement Ollie Lawrence leads to another penalty within try-scoring range.

    Expect massive amount of kicking today with that back line. Are any of 10, 12,13 and 15 in the top five in that position in England?

    No problems for Owen Farrell as he swings the ball in from out on the right to give England an early lead.

    Ireland 0-0 England

    England have been warning of a physical battle all week so perhaps it makes sense that they've been showing impressive attacking intent so far.

    Their quick moves across the field come to nothing but an early drive from Ireland in the line-out gives England another penalty. This time it's in kicking range.

    Maro Itoje makes up for that earlier knock-on as he buries his head in a ruck and comes away with a penalty.

    Elliot Daly kicks to the corner. Things might be about to get interesting.

    Bundee Aki will want to put a stamp on the game, but that's a bit unforgiveable to be put out into touch.
