    Barnes has done the Welsh a couple of pretty big favours too.

    ??? Barnes disallowed two Welsh tries and let the French live offside for a lot of that second half. I'm no fan at all of how he attempts to control and game and make himself the centre of attention, but the French can't blame Calamity Barnes for their defeat last night.

    Offside was the same both ways. The sooner WR work out how to police such a key facet of the game the better. Barnes is one of the supposed top refs yet if his management of the offside line is a portent of this RWC year we will see every team taking the piss.
    The disallowed try for blocking was a good call. The end on shot makes it very obvious how Picamoles wasn't allowed to even attempt to stop the run.

    Jonny May scores a try after two minutes for England against Ireland after a Tuigali break. First English try in Dublin for 8 years.

    C'mon the Poms!

    Another Minties moment and Daly restores England's lead. 10-14.

    Ireland very, very lucky that a Mako Vunipola try was eventually ruled out after lots of replays. A bit of hometown from the officials.

    A Farrell penalty instead. 10-17 at the break. England well worth the lead.

    Hometown refereeing keeping Ireland in the game. Still feel that the Irish will steal it but wouldn't it be great to see them lose.

    Draw is the result to root for here.

    Massive second half coming. Ireland need to justify all the hype about being World Cup favourites and better than the All Blacks. The All Blacks have come back from this sort of situation many, many times.

    Equally massive chance for Owen Farrell to show he's become a World Class 10, to keep the scoreboard ticking over and to lead his side home.

    Ireland have only conceded the one penalty. They get the rub of the green with the refs.

    Ireland 13 England 17.

    Itoje off. England have a back row player, Wilson at Lock. Advantage Ireland now I suspect.

    Just watching the last half hour at the moment. Lots of effort, lots of physicality, but not high skill levels from either side. Ireland grinding grinding grinding - yo'd think a try wins this.

    Also Farrell - bad miss. Unexpected.

    Farrell is not helping his team with the kicking, c'mon England hold this out - Ireland can't play boring rugby now!

    Very slow ball by the looks.

    England look well coached - they're anticipating and reading Ireland's pattern very nicely - just swamped Ireland again behind hte advantage line and winning the penalty.

    Farrell to kick now, missed his last two

    Well that was a guest move to take that kick when they have Daly 25-13, just minutes left

    Sexton having a 'mare and Ireland have no plan B. Irish attack has been almost non-existent, unimaginative and lacking in pace - some of the passing has been awful.

    Poms aggressive in defence and making few mistakes. Not pretty but effective.
