    It's been a long time since we've seen England play that badly.

  3. HT: England 7-22 Ireland

    England had 11 handling errors across the first half by the way. They averaged 15 turnovers a Test last year but have already conceded 14 so far today.

  4. HT: England 7-22 Ireland

    Matt Gault
    BBC Sport NI senior journalist at Allianz Stadium

    Ireland had 10 linebreaks in that half.

    They only managed nine in two halves against Italy last week and four in Paris.

    Intent and speed. They've been anything but guaranteed for Ireland recently. There's been plenty of both today.

    *deep breaths* it's just a game, it's just a game.

    Shambles from England again. Wow how the wheels have fallen off!

    Mike

    Italy will be licking their lips at the thought of playing this England team , 1st win against England in coming this year.

    Stuart

    England started brightly but Ireland capitalised on some sloppy defending. Great half to watch and hope the second half is as good

  10. HT: England 7-22 Ireland

    Matt Gault
    BBC Sport NI senior journalist at Allianz Stadium

    That's a big score at a big time.

    Ireland have poured an unbelievable amount of effort into this defensive effort.

    Can they keep this level of ferocity in the second half?

  11. Half-time

    England 7-22 Ireland

    How do you summarise that half? Four tries, a yellow card, four substitutions, an injury to the referee, a replacement referee. Anything else?

  12. England 7-22 Ireland

    Mike McCarthy
    Former Ireland second row on BBC Radio Ulster

    England were motoring. Marcus Smith does really well and Fraser Dingwall finishes it off.

  13. England 7-22 Ireland

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

    I think every single player had a part to play in that passage. England were making it slightly difficult with the overlaps but that doesn't matter.

  14. England 7-22 Ireland

    Alastair Telfer
    BBC Sport at Allianz Stadium

    This game was screaming out for Marcus Smith. Instant impact with some lovely touches in that try.

  15. try

    Try - England 7-22 Ireland

    Fraser Dingwall con George Ford (40 mins)

    England have hope! Great work from new-boy Marcus Smith who draws a defender with a delayed pass and allows Fraser Dingwall to sprint into a gap and go over.

    George Ford's kick is solid.

  16. England 0-22 Ireland

    My how England could do with a score here.

  17. England 0-22 Ireland

    Ford finds Freeman. He's a metre from the posts.

  18. England 0-22 Ireland

    England within five metres.

  19. England 0-22 Ireland

    It's all happening. Marcus Smith is on for England, replacing Freddie Steward.

  20. England 0-22 Ireland

    England are back up to 15. And they steal Ireland's latest line-out back.

    But what's this, Ireland steal the ball back and is forward Joe McCarthy about to run in an intercept-try?!

    Nope, not this time. Replacement referee Pierre Brousset blows play back for an Ireland knock on.
