  1. FT: England 15-32 Ireland

    Ireland players are all smiles and hugs and England gracefully get involved in some of the embraces too.

    They've all played in an epic at Twickenham today.

  2. Full-time

    FT: England 15-32 Ireland

    Conor Murray kicks the ball into touch and it's all over.

    What a game, what an Irish win.

  3. England 15-32 Ireland

    Michael Morrow

    The scoreline is a huge injustice to what England's 14 men have done. Ireland have weathered the almightiest of storms.

    I will say: as sporting contests go, it really doesn't get much better than what we've seen here.

  4. Replacement

    England 15-32 Ireland

    The retiring Johnny Sexton leaves the Twickenham turf for the final time as Joey Carbery comes on.

  5. England 15-32 Ireland

    That bonus point will be a big help for Ireland as they chase table-toppers France.

    They would still need England to win on the final weekend in Paris to have a chance at the title. That's a pretty big ask.

    England have done their fans proud but Ireland - despite a bit of a wobble - have just been too good. Ireland have too much quality for 14 men.

  7. try

    Try - England 15-32 Ireland

    Finlay Bealham (Con Sexton)

    That's the bonus point!

    James Lowe prowls around the side of the maul and Conor Murray sends his wing driving into England's defence.

    He's brought down, Ireland go again and Finlay Bealham is the one to score buried under a pile of green shirts.

    Johnny Sexton adds two more points.

  8. England 15-25 Ireland

    With the exception of Ireland's scrum struggles, both sides have put in incredible performances.

    But Ireland's slick attack has eventually seen them through.

    They're chasing a bonus point now as Johnny Sexton kicks a penalty to touch inside England's 22.

  9. England 15-25 Ireland

    Michael Morrow
    BBC Sport NI at Twickenham

    Ireland have dragged themselves back into the driving seat. Yes they're against 14, but this place was rocking at 15-15. It's really impressive and a credit to how far this side has come.

    Robbie Henshaw, Jack Conan and Rob Herring have made big impacts off the bench.

  10. Matt Dawson
    Former England scrum-half on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Ireland put England under a barrage of attack, wave after wave after wave of pressure.

    The skill-set of Ireland under such duress was huge but they kept at it.

    You have to trust your fitness to win it in the last 10 minutes in matches like this.

  11. try

    Try - England 15-25 Ireland

    Jack Conan (Con Sexton)

    That's that.

    Andrew Conway was screaming for it on the left wing and he eventually gets his wish, catching England's defence narrow to get to within metres of the tryline.

    Ireland recycle the ball quickly and Jack Conan has space to dive between defenders and over the line.

    Johnny Sexton adds the conversion and Ireland have a 10-point lead with six minutes left to play. There's too much for England to do now surely.

  12. England 15-18 Ireland

    England are defending ferociously and quickly. Their speed pushes Ireland back outside the 22.

    But the visitors reset and they'll go again.

  13. England 15-18 Ireland

    James Lowe has a slither of space on the left wing and gets Ireland into England's 22.

    A try here would surely be the end of the game.

  14. Replacement

    England 15-18 Ireland

    England centre Joe Marchant leaves the field and Elliot Daly comes on for the last 10 minutes.

  15. Matt Dawson
    Former England scrum-half on BBC Radio 5 Live

    England are sucking on fumes right now.

  16. England 15-18 Ireland

    That was a huge let-off for England who, somehow, with 14 men, are still in this.

    Ben Youngs scurries back behind his tryline after a loose ball and he dots it down to finally give both sides a breather.

  17. England 15-18 Ireland

    Marcus Smith takes the line-out quickly and Freddie Steward kicks and chases himself.

    Opposite number Hugo Keenan comes away with it though and suddenly Caelan Doris is off!

    He's got Conor Murray beside him but the scrum-half can't keep hold of the ball. That looked like a certain try...

  18. England 15-18 Ireland

    Ireland claim a huge line-out steal on their 22 and Conor Murray puts up his first box-kick of the day.

    Max Malins comes out on top in the air and Ben Youngs sends a kick back. Murray calls the mark, passes to James Lowe and the wing kicks to touch.

  19. Matt Dawson
    Former England scrum-half on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Whatever the result today the intensity and endeavour of England's kick-chase needs to be the minimum for the rest of the careers. They have done it so well.

  20. Replacement

    England 15-18 Ireland

    Conor Murray is on the field. Jamison Gibson-Park leaves. His pace of play has tested England today.
