    Massive second half coming. Ireland need to justify all the hype about being World Cup favourites and better than the All Blacks. The All Blacks have come back from this sort of situation many, many times.

    Equally massive chance for Owen Farrell to show he's become a World Class 10, to keep the scoreboard ticking over and to lead his side home.

          Ireland have only conceded the one penalty. They get the rub of the green with the refs.

            Ireland 13 England 17.

            Itoje off. England have a back row player, Wilson at Lock. Advantage Ireland now I suspect.

              How crucial will that Farrell miss be. Easy 3 points thrown away.

                Just watching the last half hour at the moment. Lots of effort, lots of physicality, but not high skill levels from either side. Ireland grinding grinding grinding - yo'd think a try wins this.

                Also Farrell - bad miss. Unexpected.

                    Farrell is not helping his team with the kicking, c'mon England hold this out - Ireland can't play boring rugby now!

                      Very slow ball by the looks.

                      England look well coached - they're anticipating and reading Ireland's pattern very nicely - just swamped Ireland again behind hte advantage line and winning the penalty.

                      Farrell to kick now, missed his last two

                        Well that was a guest move to take that kick when they have Daly 25-13, just minutes left

                          Sexton having a 'mare and Ireland have no plan B. Irish attack has been almost non-existent, unimaginative and lacking in pace - some of the passing has been awful.

                          Poms aggressive in defence and making few mistakes. Not pretty but effective.

                            Slade's try sums the ineptitude of the Irish backline. They have been appallingly bad tonight.

                              and England intercept to win it... by reading the play and shooting up. Well played Eddy, well played England.

                              Hopefully the world cup has faster ball though - thi has been pretty stodgy stuff

                                    Yup, but they also have some pretty lightning fast backs when required, so a step up from the worst ten man slow-rugby that could be on offer
