Ireland vrs England

It was a deserved win for Ireland. It was expected but it was a highly competitive game. Ultimately, the difference was the amount of possession. Ireland spent much of the second half camped in England's 22. As well as England defended, the pressure was always going to tell. And it did.

England did some things well and is an improving young team but it is still a level below the best four in the world. Ireland's game against France is now the likely title decider.
