Ireland immediately took advantage of their extra man to put James Lowe over for a try in the corner. Mack Hansen got Ireland's fourth try as they further extended their lead. Kyle Sinckler squeezed over for England's only try in the 72nd minute. Moments later, Keith Earls got the crowd on its feet when he scored a try on the occasion of his 100th cap.
