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

Clever lineout play from Ireland and Marcus Smith is caught off guard, offside in midfield. Ireland collect all too easy metres regardless, with Hugo Keenan rushing through a great chasm.

Onwards Ireland go, a pass through the hands of Josh van der Flier as a chance appears, but Dan Sheehan regathers momentum with a powerful carry.

The first scrummaging exchanges between Wales and England here two weeks ago were like an impressionist’s easel, all ugly clashed colours and inaccuracy. Mathieu Raynal resets the first scrum, unhappy with its stability, and then Ellis Genge is deemed to have collapsed under pressure from Tadhg Furlong.

Up in the air for a first time in anger goes Freddie Steward, imperiously claiming a high ball. Ireland then strip the ball in the tackle, and are allowed to play on despite an apparent maul that comes to floor with English bodies around the ball. They are told to release.

Ireland mishandle on the left and England will set a scrum eight metres or so inside the Irish half, just in from the 15-metre line.

And Ireland strike! There’s so much space on the edge of the English defence as Ireland play width with a player advantage. Jamison-Gibson Park puts Dan Sheehan into a hole, and the hooker’s infield pass allows Josh van der Flier to stride forth.

James Lowe is unmarked as van der Flier draws the final defender, and Max Malins can’t get across on the cover as Lowe canters for the corner. Courtney Lawes asks for a forward pass check, but the officials are satisfied.

Johnny Sexton’s missed conversion is about the only thing that hasn’t gone right for Ireland so far.

How do England set themselves now? Courtney Lawes will have to go into the second row, something he hasn’t done too often of late.

That’s lively from Harry Randall! England win a penalty on halfway and the scrum-half is off like a shot, tapping and going and threatening to put a teammate in on the right. But it all goes awry and Ireland have it back.

Twickenham is not happy, and voices their displeasure as Johnny Sexton prepares to strike the opening penalty, booing and whistling. Sexton ignores them. Ireland three up on the scoreboard, one up on the pitch.

1 minute and 22 seconds in to England against Ireland, and the hosts are down to 14 players. It’s unfortunate for Ewels, for there is no malice in his challenge on Ryan after the Ireland lock has passed the ball, but you can’t be that upright into contact any more. Mathieu Raynal sends him away for the earliest of baths as Twickenham boos.

Johnny Sexton will line up a shot at goal.
