Match Commentary

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."
