Oh I must also say - kudos to the commentator in the Scotland Italy game for managing to hark back to the "tip tackle on Brian O'Driscoll" when Ioane tackled Hogg.

16 years. Dick.

Well, some Welsh commentators are still banging on about Haden...

FFS, give it a rest - I stopped talking about Bob Deans' try a decade ago.

I haven't. Deans scored.

Sexton with a kick. Ireland 13 England 6. Every 6 Nations fixture so far between England and Ireland has been won by the side ahead at half time.

England struggling at scrum time. Another scrum penalty against them.

[Victor Meldrew]

Another Oirish try after some great attacking play.

Have Ireland worked out England's defence?

[sparky]

Ireland score after 20 phases.

Great control from Ireland as well. Impressive.

[sparky]

Ireland 20 England 6 after 38 minutes. Long way back for the visitors.

[sparky]

Half time. If it finishes like this England will finish 5th in the 6 Nations with only hapless Italy beneath them.

Keith Earls try.

[MiketheSnow]

Fantastic half from Ireland
Thoroughly deserved their lead
Earls with Try of the Tournament
O'Connell booked his Lions coaching spot

[MiketheSnow]

[sparky]

Jack Conan's try.

[sparky]

Ouch! England made a grand total of 33 metres running with the ball in the half. Need to get fat Billy doing some ball carrying in the Second Half.

God that's cruel....

Eddie Jones changes two of his front row at Half Time. The England players don't look like a happy bunch of campers.

[Victor Meldrew]

England giving away penalties at will. Discipline all over the place.

Matt Dawson on the BBC radio commentary referring to "supposedly world-class coach Eddie Jones." The vultures are circling.

England are a mess at the breakdown.

As a team, they've gone backward at quite a rate. Ireland far more precise and disciplined.
