England vs Ireland LIVE: Six Nations 2022 result and final score as Ireland win after early England red card

That was slightly high from Sinckler, but Beirne dropped his height late on, so it requires no further intervention from Marius Jonker, the TMO, who has had a breathless start.

Ireland drive early at the scrum, and Dan Sheehan is picked out for removing the now required “brake foot” from in front of him - a change to scrummaging set-up that was made before this tournament to hopefully protect hookers on engagement.

England lift two jumpers at the lineout but fail to disrupt Irish possession, and James Lowe is soon making another run down the left. But England are up in the faces of the Irish pod as they try to play at the line, and Tadhg Beirne falls into the tackle of Kyle Sinckler, who dislodges the ball.

A brush back of the hair, a steadying sway, and Marcus Smith puts it between the upright. England on the board after a disastrous opening quarter.

England are certainly on top at scrum time - that’s another munching from Ellis Genge! Tadhg Furlong again fails to anchor against the loosehead’s drive, and Genge looks properly, properly pumped as Mathieu Raynal awards England a penalty. Marcus Smith will attempt to narrow the deficit.

And an immediate chance to see as Ireland knock on after the England lineout. For now, it is Jack Nowell on the openside, Alex Dombrandt the blind and Sam Simmonds at eight.

Tom Curry is limping badly, and drops to the floor as the medics attend to him. He’s favouring an ankle, or possibly a knee, and that’ll be that for his afternoon.

Murphy’s Law for England as they lose a second starting forward inside 15 minutes. Alex Dombrandt is sent for - we’ll see how England set up hence in the back row.

Ireland close the gap at the lineout and concede a free kick. Marcus Smith’s spiral bomb is well judged by Hugo Keenan, and Tom Curry is soon limping away from a collision.

Ireland attack the edge again, but James Lowe is chopped down eventually and Joe Marchant gets over the ball superbly to draw a holding on penalty.

Jack Nowell lends his weight to the English scrum as a makeshift blindside flanker, and his presence makes a difference - Ellis Genge forces Tadhg Furlong to retreat and eventually draws the penalty.

Knock on from Ringrose! Brilliant spoiling from Itoje, using a ong arm reaching over a ruck to snare Ringrose’s wrist and force the ball free. Try chalked off.

The ball was swept out ot the left after an intercepting Henry Slade knocked on after colliding with Tadhg Furlong, allowing Caelan Doris to bash his way over. There are a couple of things to check - a knock-on from Garry Ringrose at the base of a ruck with Maro Itoje’s arms reaching through a ruck, and then if Furlong’s challenge on Slade was legal...
