Welcome, one and all, to The 42′s live coverage of Ireland’s Six Nations Round 3 meeting with England at Twickenham — or Allianz Stadium as it’s now known.
Gavan Casey with you here, and I’ll bring you a blow-by-blow account of the action — or close enough to it — from 2:10pm.
England are big favourites, fancied by as many as 11 points with many oddsmakers. Ireland are somewhere between 4/1 and 3/1 to pull off what would be an upset in London.
There’s still a Triple Crown on the line for Andy Farrell’s side who, technically speaking, are not out of the title race just yet. England, meanwhile, will seek to rebound from their shock defeat away to Scotland and get back into the title picture with a home victory today.
Replacement back row Jack Conan has been ruled out through illness, so Connacht’s Cian Prendergast comes into Andy Farrell’s matchday squad.
Prendergast started Ireland’s Six Nations opener away to France but dropped out of the squad for last weekend’s home win over Italy.
The France game was Prendergast’s first Six Nations start, and today will be the 25-year-old’s 10th Test cap.

3′ – ENG 0-0 IRL: A brilliant Irish attack — with some lovely link-up and half-breaks by Gibson-Park and Crowley — puts James Lowe away down the left but he loses concentration and drops the ball cold in a carry as he approaches the English 5′!

2:43PM
22′ – ENG 0-10 IRL: Piardi adjudges Jamie Osborne to have infringed upon Freddie Steward in the air and a nearly-try by the onrushing Jamison Gibson-Park is chalked off before he reaches the line.
Ireland are incensed! It was a borderline call: Osborne can claim he went for the ball, but he didn’t really get close at the same time and just knocked it loose from the Englishman in the air.
Try for Ireland! England 0-15 Ireland; yellow card for Freddie Steward (England)
28′ – TRY FOR IRELAND! ROBERT BALOUCOUNE! OH IT’S SENSATIONAL!
The line-break by Stuart McCloskey! He’s stopped just short! Ireland go left, and Gibson-Park is interfered with illegally — that’s going to be a yellow for England, by the way — but he wrestles free and tees up Baloucoune for the walk-in score in the right-hand corner!
Freddie Steward is sent to the bin.

This is incredible by Ireland but they really should be further ahead.
Meanwhile, referee Andrea Piardi has pulled a muscle and is going to have to be replaced! Pierre Brousset will sub in as the man in the middle.

Scrum England inside the Irish 22′. They’ll seek a scrum pen here surely.
Marcus Smith on for Freddie Steward, doesn’t appear to be a HIA.
What an incredible half of rugby by Ireland, on both sides of the ball.
Tries by Jamison Gibson-Park, Robert Baloucoune and Tommy O’Brien — with a riposte from Fraser Dingwall — leave them in a commanding position at the break.
Crowley has left some points on the tee, unfortunately, and England will feel they’re still in this having created several opportunities.
Ireland have looked so dangerous with ball in hand. It’s been a cracker.
41′ – ENG 7-22 IRL: Jack Crowley restarts the action in London. A massive 40 minutes in store. Ireland in charge, but England will feel they breathed life into this one with the Dingwall try on half-time.
66′ – ENG 14-35 IRL: A wonderful kick chase by Baloucoune into the English 22′ and Tadhg Beirne puts England in all kinds of bother a breakdown later. Penalty Ireland in front of the posts!
Crowley dinks it over and Ireland stretch their lead to 21!

68′ – ENG 14-35 IRL: HERE COME IRELAND AGAIN!
Gibson-Park chips into space in transition! Then wins the jackal turnover on the English 5′! What a piece of play!

England 21-42 Ireland, Six Nations
Welcome, one and all, to The 42′s live coverage of Ireland’s Six Nations Round 3 meeting with England at Twickenham — or Allianz Stadium as it’s now known.

There’s still a Triple Crown on the line for Andy Farrell’s side who, technically speaking, are not out of the title race just yet. England, meanwhile, will seek to rebound from their shock defeat away to Scotland and get back into the title picture with a home victory today.
Replacement back row Jack Conan has been ruled out through illness, so Connacht’s Cian Prendergast comes into Andy Farrell’s matchday squad.
Prendergast started Ireland’s Six Nations opener away to France but dropped out of the squad for last weekend’s home win over Italy.

Replacements: Ronán Kelleher, Tom O’Toole, Finlay Bealham, Nick Timoney, Cian Prendergast, Craig Casey, Ciarán Frawley, Tommy O’Brien.
Referee: Andrea Piardi [Italy].
Former Roscommon U21 Gaelic football goalkeeper Chris O’Dowd is among the Irish support at Twickenham today.
It’s 13 degrees at Twickenham, feels like eight. Cloudy but dry. Make of that what you will.
More importantly, how are you all feeling about this one? What’s your sense of it?
Poll Results:
England captain Maro Itoje is making sure to break in his custom-made boots, designed to mark his 100th cap.
