a great atmosphere at Twickenham Freddie
Jones first match in charge as England
coach his team looking for a third win
in a row in this year's championship I
told Jay was making his first start and
Jo Marlowe came into the side ahead of
mokopuna pola after defeat against
France Ireland coach Joe Schmidt made
five changes handing debuts to Stuart
McCluskey and Josh van der flair Keith
Errol's Donna Karan and Mike Ross or
returned to the starting 15 Ireland with
just one win at Twickenham since 2006
that was back in 2010 it was the men in
green who took an early lead
referee Roman watt penalized Dan Cole at
the scrum and it gave Johnny Sexton a
chance with the penalty not an easy one
but the number-10 found the target
Ireland led three nil in the 6th minute
the home side got back on level terms
soon after Owen Farrell from almost 35
metres out fired it over to level
matters at three points apiece England
came close to a score just past the
midway point in the half when Bill even
apolar broke away from the back of the
mall the Saracens man seemed surprised
to be in the clear having got through
Trimble's tackle Connor Murray and CJ
stander combined to put the big number
eight into touch
England thought they'd taken the lead in
the 25th minute when the chariot drove
towards the Irish line captain Dylan
Hartley forced his way over the home
support caught the Tri had been scored
but when the TMO had a look it was
deemed that Hartley had made a double
movement having initially been held up
and the Irish line survived nor try
the English edged in front five minutes
before the break when Farrell landed his
second successful kick of the game to
make it 6-3 and after a low-scoring
opening half that's how it stood at the
break the early moments of the second
half English number 7 James Haskell was
sent to the sin bin for a late and
dangerous tackle on Murray with England
down to 14 men Ireland seized the moment
and as they pressed from close range
Murray who thankfully was ok to continue
show great awareness to spot the gaffe
and slip low between the defenders and
over the line to the first try of the
game great play from the monster
scrum-half it put Arland 86 ahead that
would become 10 6 when Sexton added the
conversion it was a great start to the
second half for Ireland but Eddie Jones
men were soon back to within a point
when Farrow again found the target with
another penalty
having narrowed the gap England regained
the lead with two quick tries first
having drawn the Irish defenders in the
try line in sight England had several
men over white on the Left looping pass
was collected by Anthony Watson who was
over for an easy score Farrell missed
the difficult conversion of England for
14 points to 10 ahead and they quickly
struck with another similar score albeit
on the other wing the Irish were being
forced to work hard to hold out George
fours fan Farrell he picked out Mike
Brown in acres of space the Harlequins
full-back racing over for what looked
like a knockout blow the home side were
dominant at this stage in Ireland on the
ropes
Farrell kicked a good conversion to take
an 11-point lead 21 points to tan
Ireland were fighting a rearguard action
but they went close to getting back into
it when Robbie Henshaw made a burst down
the right
looks at to score but Jack Knoll did
just enough to put the Irishman on the
13 in to touch and Shaw had failed yes
down were pressure so the score wouldn't
have stood anyway he was close but
Noel's heroics saved England
points to irish debutantes then combined
to again come close to creating a try
that the visitors so badly needed
substitute Alton Dylan and Bandar Flair
forcing the English defense to scramble
but eventually the danger was snuffed
out another sub Danny Kerr picked up a
yellow card for deliberately not rolling
away but it didn't affect the outcome
Ireland came close to a consolation
score when Vander flare barged his way
over the line but the TMO was asked to
make a judgment on this one is it the
TOI Asano unfortunately for the Irish it
wasn't possible to see the ball being
grounded as Elliot Daly did his best to
prevent the touchdown
England's devastating double score in
the second half made all the difference
as they deservedly made it three wins
out of three the bid for a Grand Slam
remains alive as they look forward to
playing Wales next Ireland slim hopes of
retaining their title are over and
they'll be hoping for their first win at
the fourth attempt when they play Italy
in Dublin
final score at Twickenham England 21
Ireland 10
