Marcus Smith hits a drop-goal with the last kick of the match to hand Steve Borthwick’s side a landmark victory
England’s Alex Mitchell clears the ball despite Dan Sheehan of Ireland in the Six Nations clash at Twickenham. Photograph: Andrew Fosker/InphoWe definitely didn’t underestimate them, we saw what they were capable of in the World Cup. We’re going to have to dust ourselves off quickly. We felt they fired a lot of shots in that first half, we were content being up at half-time but they kept going in that second half.
England go wide but the scramble from Gibson-Park, Conan and Murray shunt England into touch. They have less than two minutes to survive here...: Decision time for England. Henderson doesn’t roll away on halfway and the penalty is definitely out of Marcus Smith’s range. However, Elliot Daly and his long range boot is on the park. He’s going to go for it! Huge moment...
News has filtered through that Frawley will not come back on. Gibson-Park is on the wing for the remainder of this one.: That’s rash from Feyi-Waboso. Referee Amashukeli tells him not to compete for the ball at the ruck, his hands are on the floor but he does so anyway. On replay, I’m not sure it was the right call but you have to listen to the official, who did warn him before awarding the penalty. Crowley kicks play up towards the 22.
It’s about 40m out in a central position but he’s missed! That is what you call a shank. Ireland get away with one.: Ireland get a big shove on Porter’s side of the scrum but won’t get a penalty as Doris fails to control the ball at the back of the scrum. Gibson-Park grubbers in behind, finding touch inside the 22. A penalty is given away at the lineout as Ireland close the gap early. England can clear easily from their own territory.Off the lineout, Ireland finally get some momentum.
So, there is no scenario where Ireland mathematically wrap up the title with a defeat today, but if they secure two points of any kind, they are in a position that is all but unassailable.“I remember watching a game with one of my buddies and saying: ‘Jeez, who is this kid?’ Like, the way he was moving, his explosiveness, his speed and his feet were just so impressive. Then obviously when I got the Young Munster gig I was licking my lips.
Meanwhile, Italy have scored again, this time through Stephen Varney. They now lead Scotland 28-22 with 20 minutes to go!
