An angry Andy Farrell was having some words with Steve Borthwick at half-time.
I wonder what that was about...

There's only going to be one winner in this match - England. We've been far superior in every facet of the game except for kicking penalties. George Ford is costing us massively. Bring on Marcus.

The rugby has not disappointed, but now it's the turn of Rag'n'Bone man to keep the crowd entertained in the centre of the field.
I must say, many of those who would usually dash for the nearest watering hole have stayed in their seats to enjoy the vocals and the accompanying light show.
Will England keep the party rolling on in the second half?

When you are playing that blitz defence part of the genius is when to do it. If you get out too quick sometimes it pays dividends to back off a little bit.
Huge half-time for both coaches, the most difficult thing to do at half-time is say 'keep doing more of the same' as it just doesn't happen.
I didn't want that half to end for England. They had momentum and it was making sense to them.

Miss that game Matt is on about?

Earlier, the press pack were glued to the television screens in the Twickenham media working room as Italy beat Scotland.
I wondered whether or not this game would be quite as transfixing.
I've gotten my answer. You can't take your eyes off this.

Perfect call from the officials.
As George Furbank landed his back foot just clipped the whitewash.

As it stands... Ireland will win the Six Nations!
Jack Crowley
Bang in front and easy for Jack Crowley.
England 8-9 Ireland
Test rugby is about fine margins. Ireland win a penalty which all came from that George Furbank mistake.
England 8-9 Ireland
James Lowe unleashes a monstrous kick down to the England 22. George Furbank catches it, but his toe touches the whitewash.
Big chance now for Ireland...
England 8-9 Ireland
Another expert read from Robbie Henshaw in the midfield and England drop the ball.
Despite England playing their best rugby, they are a point behind Ireland, who are yet to fully fire.

Bundee Aki has been Ireland's best player so far.
He carries with such ferocity as George Ford found out earlier, and has just won his side a penalty at the breakdown.
Fearsome.

Bundee Aki has been a titanic figure in green of late and he's popped up there to shift momentum back in Ireland's favour.
Not a bad kick by Jack Crowley either...
Jack Crowley
The toughest one yet for Jack Crowley and he nails it from distance. It just edges over the bar.

This is really testing Ireland and we are seeing the natural characters of England coming out.
It is a simple game plan.
England 8-6 Ireland
England have had 67% of the territory and 58% of the possession so far.
They've made 212m to Ireland's 100m.
Ireland have won three turnovers.

You have got to assume you are not going to get many of them [penalty kicks] George Ford will be disappointed - that is bread and butter for him.
England 8-6 Ireland
One thing to note is that Hugo Keenan has shifted to the right wing with Ciaran Frawley dropping into full-back.
That is the danger of a 6-2 spilt, but Keenan is very able on the wing.
England 8-6 Ireland
George Ford drags it wide. A poor miss for a man of his ability.
