1º Half

Ireland Leak A Scrum Penalty, Tadhg Furlong The Offender

An unorthodox kick from Ford has May in trouble as he is chased down brilliantly by Robbie Henshaw. Rob Herring also makes his mark in defence, leading to an Irish scrum on halfway.


However, Tadhg Furlong is guilty of infringing at the scrum. Farrell finds an excellent touch deep inside the Irish 22.

A Poor Penalty Miss From Sexton

Lawes was in at the side of a maul, and Jamie George also infringed a couple of phases later. However, Sexton lets them off the hook with a poorly-struck penalty which he nudged wide of the posts.

It Is A Seven-Point Concession For Ireland

Fly Half

A Sexton Error Gives England The Opening Try

Larmour catches a cross-field kick from Ford. Murray kicks towards the left touchline, Jacob Stockdale is quickly in to tackle the receiving May.


However, Ben Youngs' clever dink in behind sits up dangerously and Sexton cannot gather the bouncing ball past his own try-line. Ford swoops in to ground it. A horror start for Ireland.

1º Half

Ireland Kick Clear From A Solid Scrum

Huge ferocity in contact so far. Tuilagi got England on the front foot, they moved into try-scoring range. But Andrew Conway does well to cover the danger, and then a pass is too high to Courtney Lawes who knocks on.


Some thunderous clean-outs from James Ryan and company.

Conor Murray
Scrum Half

Murray Heavily Involved Early On

England winning the early aerial battle, Jonny May beating Jordan Larmour to a high ball. They kick through again, forcing Murray to retrieve the ball just a few metres out from his own try-line.


Ireland recover well and Murray, now back on his feet, kicks to touch.

1º Half

Lively Start From Both Sides

Conor Murray with a great first kick, clearing back to halfway. Maro Itoje is unopposed as he wins the lineout and Manu Tuilagi makes his first carry towards Jonathan Sexton.


England retain possession from a kick, but an ill-advised chip is gobbled up by Murray.
