Resurgent Ireland Demolish Sloppy England in Record 42-21 Victory
Ireland built a 22-0 lead exploiting England's errors to secure their biggest win on English soil and keep Six Nations title hopes alive with 42-21 victory, officials said.
- On Saturday, Ireland national rugby team beat England national rugby team 42-21 at Twickenham, London, securing their biggest-ever win in England in a record-breaking result.
- Capitalising on England's errors, Ireland opened a 22-0 lead after just over 30 minutes as Jamison Gibson-Park, Rob Baloucoune and Tommy O'Brien scored amid Ford's missed kicks and Freddie Steward's yellow card.
- Dan Sheehan's try three minutes after the restart ended any England comeback following Fraser Dingwall's first‑half score, and Sheehan said, `We knew we had a lot of Irish support here`.
- The result effectively ended England's title hopes, while Ireland moved to nine points, one behind leaders France, and England dropped to fourth on five points.
- England's recurring slow starts surfaced again, as they were 17-0 down to Scotland last weekend and Jack Crowley replaced under-fire Sam Prendergast, kicking an early penalty while James Lowe spurned a chance.
