Sam Prendergast when he does that loop play seems to find huge space and usually puts someone away.

This is the sort of training scenario that squeezes the grey matter as well as wringing the muscles dry.

So far England, without their fly-half and down to 14 men, have negotiated Marcus Smith's sin-binning expertly.

They have slowed down play, kicked cleverly and picked their moments well to commit to rucks.

Four minutes left on the yellow card by my maths.

Ireland had all the momentum but Bundee Aki's hands let him down at the crucial moment and England have the chance to clear.

Luke Cowan-Dickie overthrows and it's gathered by Ireland, who play it through the hands and are right into the 22.

Tom Curry does really well to win the penalty after getting his hands on the ball at the ruck.

Slade sends it up to halfway, and England have survived half of Smith's time in the sin-bin.

England's defence are just fanning over the filed and Ireland are thinking 'oh my goodness' where are we going to attack.

Steward thumps it clear but Hansen takes the throw quickly.

Prendergast sends it high but Slade gathers under huge pressure from Aki.

Ireland win the throw and go straight to the backs! Hansen is chopped down...and England win the penalty.

Henry Slade is on kicking duties with Smith off the pitch, but he can only make it up to the 22.

Maro Itoje cut a resigned figure speaking to Ben O'Keeffe there having already been told off by the New Zealander earlier in the game.

He knew Marcus Smith was in trouble.

Ireland have been under the pump - can they make this count?

It's Marcus Smith who will spend the next 10 minutes in the bin.

Prendergast pops the ball into the corner.

The noise rises in Dublin!

Andrew: Sam Prendergast is a great talent with bags of potential, but he doesn't half play with a relaxed style. He never rushes, so he's always under pressure at this level.

It's a long throw from the line-out to Bundee Aki, who does what he does best and charges forward.

Mack Hansen spots a gap and beats two men. His offload finds Ryan Baird and the back row is five metres out.

England get all over the ball and give away the penalty. Ben O'Keefe is going to his pocket.

The ball goes to Marcus Smith and you know what's coming next....he sends another kick high and Freddie Steward manages to gather it!

England go through one more phase, but Beirne makes amends for his earlier error and gets over the ball.

Penalty Ireland, and Prendergast sends it into the England half.

Under the guidance of Jacques Nienaber, the majority of Ireland's players are now playing with a different defensive system week to week at Leinster.

Missed tackles are almost viewed as an occupational hazard under the South African's high risk/high reward methods but it's striking to see green jerseys falling off so many here.

Seven already in the opening quarter.

The left boot of James Lowe brings play up to half-way, and England will have the line out.

They win it but kick it long, and Lowe has a second chance to hammer it clear.

England are finding spaces all over Ireland. An Irish team that is usually so solid in defence. England have a lot of game breakers.

England coach Steve Borthwick will be well pleased by what he has seen in the first 20 minutes. His quicksilver back row have been a breakdown pest, forcing Ireland to commit time and men when they would rather be playing fast. The line-out, barring a fumbled first, has held up OK. And the defensive passage on their own line was full-throated and successful in shutting out the hosts.

Encouraging for the visitors, ominous for Ireland

England are nearly in again but Hugo Keenan manages to stop Tommy Freeman down the left wing.

Bundee Aki played his part with a tap tackle to slow the wing down, but England are causing Ireland so many problems here.

England's line speed is causing Ireland a lot of trouble. There were doubts over it before the game.

Cadan Murley makes 20 metres with a dancing run in the middle of the park.

England recycle and are looking to make some metres in the Irish half.
