England led 6-0 at the break thanks to two penalties from Owen Farrell.

Ronan O’Gara who came on for the injured Jonny Sexton responded with two penalties in the second half.

Farrell restored England’s six point lead with two more penalties as they secured their first Championship win over Ireland in Dublin since 2003.

Simon Zebo also limped off for Ireland in the first half and was replaced by Keith Earls.
