    Big game for Borthwick, but I think Ireland are levels above.

  2. England denied

    Ireland 0-7 England

    That's a HUGE let-off for Ireland!

    The ball is knocked on in the tackle by Itoje and Ireland have the advantage, but a wild pass is thrown by Prendergast, intercepted and it looked like Alex Mitchell had a clear run to the line, but play is brought back.

  3. Ireland 0-7 England

    Mack Hansen is back on for Robbie Henshaw.

    He was limping as he went off, but it turns out it was a blood sub and he's able to continue.

  4. DISALLOWED TRY

    Ireland 0-7 England

    That hasn't gone down well in the ground but that's a fair cop.

    The try has been chalked off as Tadhg Beirne held on to Itoje at the ruck, and that opened the gap for Kelleher to squeeze through.

  5. TMO

    Hang on, we're going to the TMO.

  6. That sums up where Ireland are

    England had to push the boundaries and got caught out. That sums up where Ireland are. Ireland score 90% of the time.

    Try - Ireland 5-7 England

    Ronan Kelleher

    The reigning champions respond!

    It was another tap and go. England stop the first assault on their line but Ronan Kelleher spots a gap and dives over.

  8. Ireland 0-7 England

    Ireland have been pushed back but have a third penalty advantage.

    England need to be careful here. That's three in the space of a few minutes in their own 22.

    Ref Ben O'Keefe has a word with Maro Itoje. One more infringement and there will be a card.

  9. Ireland 0-7 England

    Ireland are going to tap and go. They're back on the England line once again!

  10. Ireland 0-7 England

    Ireland win the throw and here comes the maul....but it's legally brought down.

    James Lowe almost squeezes over! Ireland are right on the line with a penalty advantage.

  11. Ireland 0-7 England

    Jonathan Bradley

    Clear early on that England have identified those kicks in behind as a way to get at Ireland.

    Marcus Smith tried twice before Henry Slade's grubber sent Murley into the clear for that try.

  12. Ireland 0-7 England

    There's been a lot of talk about England's back row and they are straight off the back of the scrum to hammer Caelan Doris.

    Ireland manage to move it quickly, and they have the penalty for Olie Lawrence not rolling away from a tackle on Robbie Henshaw.

    Prendergast pops it into the corner.

  13. Ireland 0-7 England

    Ben Earl drops the kick-off and Ireland have the scrum just outside the English 22.

    This is as high up the pitch as they have been in the opening 12 minutes.

  14. 'A super try'

    A super try and a super start for England. Sam Prendergast will be disappointed with his clearance kick as it went straight down the throat of Marcus Smith.

  15. Ireland 0-7 England

    It's been all England so far. Will that spark the hosts into life?

    John: England will always be dangerous no matter what their recent form is. We are a shade better all over the pitch and the experience this group has. Big hits, tries and carnage. Cracking game incoming. Home win.

  17. try

    Converted try - Ireland 0-7 England

    Cadan Murley (con Smith)

    Huge debut try for Cadan Murley!

    It's another kick that causes issues. It's chipped through by Henry Slade and Murley wins the foot race with Josh van der Flier to touch down!

    Smith adds the conversion!

  18. Ireland 0-0 England

    Tommy Bowe
    Former Ireland winger on BBC Radio 5 Extra

    One key thing is Garry Ringrose is now on the wing. He is a centre by trade.

  19. Ireland 0-0 England

    There's a bit more kick tennis between the sides.

    Sam Prendergast sends one a bit too far, and Ollie Lawrence is almost through!

  20. Ireland 0-0 England

    Freddie Steward pumps his legs and makes some good metres into the Ireland half.

    Ireland regather their defence but Smith goes high once more, but James Lowe does well to pluck the ball out of the air under huge pressure.
