England had just too much for Ireland as they came back from Rob Kearney’s early second half try to beat Ireland at Twickenham.
The hosts ran out 13-10 winners in the end, the decisive moment coming when Danny Care managed to streak clear and put the ball between the posts.
Here’s the Kearney try:
And the moment that broke Irish hearts:
To add insult to injury, Brian O’Driscoll was forced off late in the game and must now be a doubt for the clash against Italy.
A 3 point loss but it felt like a bit of a hammering didn’t it…

Our points diff is healthy and we have two demoralised teams left to play. Time to stop obsessing re Grand Slam and go and win Championship.
