| Run of Play |
| 80 | England kick a penalty to touch, and with the hooter gone, they boot possession to touch. Big win for the visitors here. |
| 76 | Owen Farrell Missed Penalty - Farrell misses one right and Ireland is still alive with four minutes left on the clock. |
| 71 | Ronan O'Gara Missed Penalty - ROG misses a vital penalty to the near side, and the home crowd knows how vital this was. |
| 66 | Owen Farrell Penalty - Farrell slots his fourth and England have their six-point lead back, despite being a man down. |
| 64 | Owen Farrell Penalty - England is back in the lead as Farrell pops it over from right under the crossbar. |
| 62 | Tuilagi chases a chip into the Irish in-goal area. The ball sits up well enough for him, but he can't bring it under control and another try-scoring opportunity is lost. Best was adjudged offsides, however, so there's at least a chance for three. |
| 59 | Ronan O'Gara Penalty - O'Gara slots the penalty conceded by Haskell. Thing are level in Dublin with 20 minutes left. |
| 57 | James Haskell Haskell Yellow Card - Haskell is given his marching orders for repeated ruck offences. Is this the game-deciding moment? |
| 50 | Poor pass from O'Driscoll and if Tuilagi held onto the ball as it bounced loosely, England would have scored. |
| 45 | Ronan O'Gara Penalty - O'Gara open Ireland's account with his first penalty of the match. It came coutesy of the English frontrow collapsing. |
| 41 | O'Gara restarts for Ireland. The take is safe enough and England win a penalty at the first ruck. |
| 40 | Owen Farrell Missed Penalty - Farrell misses a penalty on the strke of halftime. England head to the sheds with a six-point advantage, and well in charge. |
| 37 | The England scrum wins a penalty, but the resulting lineout is lost. Ireland has a chance to escape their 22, but again sloppy play costs them and England's effective counter-ruck wins a scrum. |
| 32 | Sexton hacks through a loose ball but pulls a hamstring doing so. O'Gara comes on as a replacement, and you couldn't ask for anyone for suitable in these conditions. |
| 29 | Owen Farrell Penalty - Farrell doubles the Englisg lead with a successful long-range penalty. It already looks like an uphill battle from here for the homeside. |
| 20 | On the 20-minute mark Ireland have four handling errors behind their name, compared to England's zero. This is worrying from the home side. |
| 16 | Quite a tussle developing here. Both sides have the ability to get to the opposition 22, but every time the defences are up to it. |
| 6 | Sloppy start by Ireland here. First Heaslip knocks on a kick-off and the the first lineout is lost. The first scrum wasn't something to write home about either. |
| 3 | Owen Farrell Penalty - The Irish loose-forwards fail to roll away at a ruck and Farrell opens his account for the afternoon with a well-struck penalty. |
