• England score four tries to claim bonus-point win in Dublin
Ireland’s six-year ground record in the Six Nations was seized by a ruthless England side that was as clear in its thinking as it was muddled a year ago. They not only won there for only the third time in the Six Nations but did so with a bonus point after taking control of the game from the start and relentlessly grinding down the champions, whose paucity of ideas when chasing a game was exposed.
The only cloud on England’s horizon was a knee ligament injury to their lock Maro Itoje who is doubtful for the rest of the championship.
