Ireland score three second-half tries to launch their bid for a third successive Six Nations title with a bonus-point victory over England in Dublin.
Ireland scored three tries in a dominant second-half display as they launched their bid for an unprecedented third successive Six Nations title with a bonus-point victory over England in Dublin.
It is, however, a sixth defeat in seven matches for England boss Steve Borthwick and a loss for Maro Itoje in his first Test since replacing Jamie George as captain. Borthwick went for speed and mobility by starting Curry twins Ben and Tom and Ben Earl in the back row. All three impressed in the first half, contributing to an England performance that blended speed and invention and put the Irish defence under severe pressure.
With Irish momentum rising, Beirne atoned for his earlier error to extend Ireland's lead, finishing a move that again involved industrious winger Lowe and man of the match Gibson-Park.
