England v Ireland LIVE: Result and reaction from Six Nations as Marcus Smith denies Irish grand slam with last-gasp drop goal

A perfect opening 18 minutes for England who have looked more dynamic than any point in the Six Nations so far. George Ford slots a simple penalty from a central location to extend the advantage to five points.

Feyi-Waboso shining on his first England start as another barrelling carry makes him seven or eight metres as he slips a Doris tackle. Then it’s a gorgeous offload from the floor from Earl to George who charges into Irish territory.

England win the penalty and Ford will kick for goal

Good defence again from Ireland, who have spent a lot of time pinned in their own 22 but largely holding firm. They force a knock-on and boot clear.

Lineout issues for the normally impeccable Dan Sheehan. Ireland had a 95 per cent lineout success rate heading into this game, the best in the Six Nations, but see that one pinched.

England race into the 22 through Feyi-Waboso and although Mitchell’s grubber bounces into Irish hands, Keenan is tackled into touch for the lineout

Van der Flier shows his jackal threat as he gets over the ball at the breakdown following a Furbank carry and wins Ireland a penalty. Could Furbank have gone wide to the supporting Ben Earl?

Either way the Irish defence comes up big and kicks clear.

Calvin Nash had to head off for a HIA after that clash with Freeman earlier, so Ciaran Frawley is on. He slots in at full back, so Keenan is on the wing.

A good early sign for the English pack! They win a scrum penalty immediately and kick up to the 22 - another good platform.

The crowd are right into this one now. Lowe with a barrelling carry takes Ireland into the 22 down the left.

But England’s blitz defence force the mistake, Feyi-Waboso rushing out of the line to confront Freeman, who tries to field a low pass from Gibson-Park and knocks on. Text Felix Jones-coached defence and a good start by the young winger.

Unbelievable! Superb response from England and Ollie Lawrence is over!

Freeman tackled hard by Nash but a big carry up the middle from England creates space to the left. Ford finds Slade who feeds Lawrence and the centre hands off Crowley as he gets round the outside of him and dots down in the corner.

Superb try. Ford misses the conversion but England lead!

No mistake from Crowley as he bangs the opening points of the game between the sticks.

Early lineout on halfway for Ireland and it’s safely secured. Van der Flier then breaks the line with a carry.

A couple more phases and Ireland win the penalty for offside, so Crowley has a first shot at the posts - right in front, just outside the 22.
