England just have to find the positives in the game. Their physicality, breakdown and defence was good in the first half.
That ability to stay in the game as well is a positive.

Matt Dawson
2003 World Cup winner on BBC Radio 5 Live
That was a hard-fought contest, a very physical, very fast game. That was top-level rugby. Ireland showed with their experience, how to utilise their experience.
That was a bit of a wake-up call for England today.

Player of the match Jamison Gibson-Park, speaking to ITV: "It was a little patchy to begin with but we produced some nice stuff in the end. A lot of credit to England.
"We improved our accuracy and things stuck better in the second half.
"I am super lucky to be part of this squad and I am just enjoying my footie. It is an unbelievable team and environment."

A game neither as close as the final score suggested nor as comfortable for Ireland as it seemed with ten minutes to go.
Ultimately a great start for Simon Easterby, though.

England fell off their line speed in defence. Ireland looked a lot sharper in the second half.

The bookies were bang on. They had Ireland by five in the pre-match markets. That losing margin flatters England however.
Tommy Freeman's last-play try came with the outcome already decided.
The inquest will focus on a period in the middle of the match in which the vistors leaked 22 unanswered points and committed a rash of individual errors.

A perfect start to the Six Nations. England at home, it does not come much bigger. A convincing win for Ireland.
FT: Ireland 27-22 England
That was a game of two halves for Ireland.
England deserved their half-time lead, but the hosts just had too much after the restart once they clicked through the gears.

Sorry Corcoran, France will rip you apart.

Tommy Freeman (con Smith)
Tommy Freeman, with blood dripping out his nose, spots a gap and crosses for England!
Smith converts. England have their losing bonus-point and that will be that.

England make a mess of the line out but manage to gather the ball at the second attempt...

England are still pressing. Another try would give them a losing bonus-point.
They win a penalty, and it's sent into the Irish 22. One last chance with the clock in the red.

We're into the final minute and Ireland have possession in the England half.

Ireland have been stronger in every department in this second half, while England have wilted. Is it too early to start thinking about the Grand Slam...

Ireland are back to business in the England 22. They're looking to finish this one on a high.
Jack Conan tries to bundle his way over in the corner but Jack Murley manages to get him into touch with an interesting tackle technique.

Oh dear. It was a nice try but that sums up England's second half as Marcus Smith sends a simple conversion well wide.
Much to the delight of the Dublin crowd.
Tom Curry
Late hope for England? Tom Curry gets a well-deserved try!
Ollie Lawrence sets Murley off on his bike down the wing. It's inside to Curry, who was never going to be stopped from close range.
