In a dramatic start, England debutant Cadan Murley pounced on Henry Slade's grubber kick through to score before the away side had to withstand heavy pressure. After Marcus Smith was yellow carded, Ireland No.9 Jamison Gibson-Park crossed but five points from the boot of Smith saw England lead 10-5 at the break.

Ireland has gotten off to a five-point start to its bid for an unprecedented third straight outright Six Nations rugby title by overpowering England in a second-half recovery to rack up a 27-22 victory in Dublin.

Ireland win a five metre scrum in the strangest of circumstances. Try scorer Cadan Murley misjudges the high ball, touches it and then forced to try play it out of the try zone. Ireland pile on the pressure and force England back to win the scrum. A bad mistake from the debut boy.
