    It feels as it Ireland can't buy a decision at the moment.

    It looked as if Marcus Smith had been dragged into touch but in fact he cleverly managed to keep the ball in play and England get the ball.

    England prop Joe Marler comes on for Ellis Genge - who has been a big part of the demolition of Ireland's scrum.

    And Joe Launchbury gets a big cheer as he comes on for his first England appearance since December 2020. Alex Dombrandt is off.

    An easy one from in front of the posts for a man as experienced as Johnny Sexton.

    Ireland take back their three-point lead with 15 minutes to go.

    That is utter rubbish! It was as clear as the most beautiful Irish crystal I've ever seen. It was obvious and cynical.

    The TMO says there is nothing clear and obvious, but Ireland come away with a penalty and of course will take the kick at goal to try and nab back the lead.

    I humbly suggest Ireland may not opt for the scrum here.

    Raynal wants to take a look to see if Maro Itoje was illegally messing with the ball on the floor.

    He looks to have moved Ireland scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park's hand as he was trying to get the ball out of the ruck.

    Matt Dawson was on his feet! Steward was going 95 yards but there's an offside!

    Is Rob Herring over?

    No! FREDDIE STEWARD HAS INTERCEPTED THE BALL.

    Ok, he's been called back by referee Mathieu Raynal. Calm down everyone.

    It's a bit of a wobbly line-out but Ireland manage to keep the ball safe.

    Irish forwards batter the English line 5m out.

    Another incredible kick from Andrew Conway flies low into England's 22 and goes out in the corner.

    Ireland will have the line-out. They've got to get something out of this surely.

    This match is made for Ben Youngs to take the pace out of the game and put the Ireland back three under pressure.

    England are PUMPED.

    Ben Youngs sends up a short box-kick and Hugo Keenan is wrapped up by Jack Nowell and Alex Dombrandt and delivered into touch.

    The last time Ireland were faced with an atmosphere this febrile, in a tight game with the momentum against them was against hosts Japan at the 2019 World Cup. You may recall what happened then.

    The most important 20 minutes of Andy Farrell's reign so far are about to begin. They need to find something.

    Marcus Smith

    It's over!

    What a final 20 minutes we have now.

    Reminder that England have played pretty much the whole match with 14 men. Their fans are rightfully delighted.

    Marcus Smith has kicked up his kicking tee.

    Slightly to the right, on the 22 - this is to tie the game.

    Aaaand another scrum penalty for England.

    Ellis Genge seems to be tired of the big celebrations now and goes for a cool wink instead.

    Jamie George is having none of that and goes big with a massive grin.

    Twenty minutes remaining. Three points in it. The title on the line for both teams.

    Delicious.
