Match Commentary

81'		That's it for our live commentary. Just seven days until we do it all over again. The 2019 Six Nations is up and running!
81'		Plenty more reaction to come here including a full report of just how England managed to pull that off and all the reaction from Dublin.
81'		Tom Hamilton, Senior Sports Writer for ESPN in Dublin, on Twitter: "Finest England performance in at least a decade. It was a game where Henry Slade found his international feet and where that triumvirate of Mako, Billy and Manu wrecked havoc in Dublin."
