England vs Ireland result: Irish Grand Slam dream ends as hosts deliver dominant victory

Re-live the action from the final Six Nations clash of the weekend at Twickenham

England vs Ireland Six Nations preview

Follow the latest updates live from Twickenham as England take on Ireland with their Six Nations championship hopes on the line.

Ireland arrive in London with two wins from two after seeing off Scotland and Wales, but face their toughest ask yet as they travel away from home for the first time to face an England side that got back to winning ways against Scotland last time out following the opening defeat against France – who are now favourites for the Six Nations title after their stunning win over Wales yesterday.

England boss Eddie Jones has made four personnel changes for the match, with Manu Tuilagi returning from injury and shifting Jonathan Joseph out to the wing for the first time as Elliot Daly moves to full-back, while Joe Marler, Courtney Lawes and Ben Youngs also return. Ireland meanwhile are forced into one change as Iain Henderson misses out following the birth of his son, with Devin Toner coming into the starting XV. Follow the live action below.

Prediction

England 22-17 Ireland: There haven’t been many one-sided results so far this tournament and, with bad weather predicted once again this weekend, expect more of the same. The Twickenham factor should prove beneficial to England given what they did to Ireland here last August, and with Manu Tuilagi and Henry Slade back, the hosts seem to have a confidence about them this week that they have lacked this championship.

Key Points

• England 24-12 Ireland
• Sexton error hands George Ford the first try of the match
• Daly adds second try to double the lead
• Henshaw responds for Ireland but Cowan-Dickie try secures victory
• Porter adds late consolation for Ireland in defeat
• France beat Wales 27-23 in Cardiff cracker after Scotland whitewash Italy 17-0

The decision to take the scrum pays off as Ireland finally turn opportunity into points. Murray collects from Stander and the scrum-half goes it alone before O'Mahony recycles. Vand er Flier then has his turn to carry it around the edge, and when it goes right again, Robbie Henshaw powers through Curry and Farrell to score Ireland's first try of the match. Sexton misses the conversion, so the gap stands at 12 points.

England think they're in for another after a high cross-field kick is batted down by May and into the hands of Tuilagi. The centre sprints away but a tap tackle trips him short of the line, and he squirms his way tot he line to place the ball on it and score - only for Peyper to have blown up already after receiving a call from assistant referee Alex Ruiz that the pat-down as forward. In all honesty, it was.

England get a shove on in the scrum and force the ball out and the turnover to boot, and have a penalty advantage for not rolling away that gives them free license to attack. Joseph makes a nice half-break on the right and Ford follow suit on the left to move up to the five-metre line, though when Joseph comes in short he's thumped by Ryan and the crowd gasp as one. England still have possession though...

It's wasted! England go wide and Youngs feeds Ford out the back, who ships it on to Farrell. However, the skipper throws a poor pass to Daly and he knocks it on just five metres out.

Changes for England as Marler, Lawes and Youngs are replaced by Ellis Genge, Charlie Ewels and Willi Heinz - with a huge cheer going up for Genge as he jogs on. Twickenam certainly loves the baby rhino.

And that's why Twickenham loves Ellis Genge! The loosehead gets a huge shove on along with the rest of the England pack and they draw the penalty which Farrell sends to the corner. Ryan gets shirty with Itoje, and it's fair to say the England forwards are loving this.

Kilcoyne is pinged for collapsing the maul and back into the corner it goes.

England this time set up the maul well and the backs come flooding in as Farrell, Tuilagi and May all join in, and the extra support helps fire Luke Cowan-Dickie over for the third try! Farrell nails the touchline conversion.
