The hosts however, won't be ready to roll over. Orquera is on too.

Out of that, however, Ireland launch their best move as Earls and Fitzgerald make a breakthrough before Sexton is tackled 10 yards from the Italian line. 14 min: Flying slam dunk by Ashton to touch down after Youngs got quick ball to Flood, he burst forward 10 metres and played a reverse pass to Ashton who barrelled up the middle.

Ireland have struggled in the line out so far but this time O'Callaghan claims it cleanly. With Stodds there is more of a risk factor, but also more of an X factor as well."


But where has this performance come from Ireland? 34 mins: Matt Rees overthrows from the lineout that came seconds after the restart and Youngs whips around the back but knocks on.

Thompson launches one in, but it's not straight, and Ireland are awarded a scrum.

I thought Youngs played well for Engalnd and Easter, too, but Flood is the stand-out man in white, coming of age since joining Leicester. 71 mins: England lineout 15 metres out. Ireland are then awarded a penalty, as Youngs tries to take the ball out of Reddans hands at the scrum. England's rookies on the cusp of glory as they go for the... Martin Samuel: The day Johnno pulled the rug from under the... Ben Foden's inside view: Sorry Una, this is my Saturday.
