Twitter reacts to first-half of Ireland vs England

It's all over bar the shouting when it comes to the 2017 Six Nations after Ireland's disappointment last week against Wales...

But there are still few things more satisfying than standing in the way of an English Grand Slam the day after St. Paddy's Day, and that's the mission for Joe Schmidt's men this afternoon. England badly want the win here, which is reason enough for Ireland to play out of their skins. Ireland took an early lead through a Johnny Sexton penalty, but the score was levelled just minutes later. Ireland fans had cause for complaints after Itoje escaped the sinbin despite one late tackle on Sexton and an offside takedown of Marmion during the ruck. Ireland were fired up though, and Iain Henderson soon went over with the first try of the game, which Sexton dutifully converted, giving Ireland a 10-3 lead. Ireland held on to the lead and stayed in the ascendancy, dominating possession for the remainder of the half without widening the gap. Here's how the Ireland fans reacted to that half on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CianTracey1/status/843151318038581249 https://twitter.com/nbrez/status/843151487631052804 https://twitter.com/FMRadioGavin/status/843155664562216960 https://twitter.com/EoghanRyan13/status/843153410304163844 https://twitter.com/IanFeerick/status/843153400145567749 https://twitter.com/batmandan_/status/843153347213508609 https://twitter.com/Dermotom/status/843153208054861824
