Ireland vs England LIVE rugby: Result and reaction from World Cup warm-up after Billy Vunipola red card

Ireland sweep to the left in their next possession, James Lowe appearing to take a blow to the nose as he tries to surge between Anthony Watson and Joe Marchant. England are then offside in midfield.

Ireland play blind, Jamison Gibson-Park flicking to Mack Hansen, who chips ahead over a leaping Elliot Daly. Freddie Steward is across to cover but is not required, the ball taking a hop into touch just inside England’s 22.

England close the gap as Ireland try to throw a lineout, giving us our first look at a scrum-time skirmish. It’s unsteady to start, with Paul Williams requesting both front rows stand up again for some more instructions.

Back down they go, Tadhg Furlong and Ellis Genge bracing for battle on the near side, Andrew Porter and Will Stuart the far. Stuart is over-eager on the engage - a free kick again...and, of course, another scrum.

Here’s that Ireland score:

England immediately get an opportunity from the restart, Cian Prendergast stripped by Maro Itoje. Ellis Genge goes bashing out of a tackle, cannily getting back to his feet when not held.

But that Irish goalline defence is just so, so good. A couple of thumping hits and then the back row go to work, winning a ruck penalty.

Ireland cut England to ribbons!

That all looked rather simple for Ireland, but that’s the threat of their ball-handling forwards at the line. Josh van der Flier takes in the middle of the pod and assesses his options, Tadhg Furlong to his inside and Peter O’Mahony to his right, with Bundee Aki in the boot.

Van der Flier makes the right choice, spotting Will Stuart exposed and slightly too wide in front of O’Mahony. Seven finds six, and O’Mahony eases away from the chasing defence, teeing up a supporting Aki for a run in. Ross Byrne pops over the extra two.

Pilfered! Ireland begin to threaten with Dan Sheehan charging around the corner but the ball pops free into George Ford’s hands. Ford thumps up field.

But that’s a magnificent return punt! James Lowe’s left boot really is something, a pleasing thud as he lashes his laces through it to flip the field again. Not quite a 50:22, but not far off.

A mazy run on kick return from Hugo Keenan, beating one and nearly Maro Itoje, too, the lanky lock grateful for the length of his limbs. But the long arms of the Lawes are less effective - the England captain is deemed to have gone off his feet when contesting at a ruck. Ireland kick down into England’s 22.

And with Owen Farrell watching on from the stands, George Ford knocks it safely through from the tee. His first points as an international starter in two and a bit years.

Some variation from England, Manu Tuilagi up into Cian Prendergast after Jamie George throws the lineout over the top straight to the onrushing centre. That’s smart, too, Elliot Daly lurking off his wing and attempting to attack Ireland’s guard and bodyguard defenders next to the ruck. Ireland handle Daly appropriately but then infringe at the breakdown, which should allow George Ford to get the scoring started...

Some nifty handling in midfield allows England to again work to that left edge of the Irish defence, but Anthony Watson is felled. The visitors then narrow, forcing George Ford to hoist something skyward, which Mack Hansen is safely beneath and marks.
