England's Henry Slade scored two tries in the final quarter to seal the victory over Ireland IRELAND by Rory Keane Robbie Henshaw 6 First start at fullback under Joe Schmidt’s watch and looked unsure of his positioning at times. Keith Earls 5 Bad misread in defence for Jonny May’s opening try. Bombarded with high balls and copped late hits from Curry and Itoje. Replaced at half-time. Garry Ringrose 7 Crucial ball-and-all tackle on Owen Farrell in the 51st minute lifted siege. Arguably Ireland’s best player on a torrid night. Bundee Aki 6 Brough his usual mix of physicality, but outshone by a rampant Manu Tuilagi in midfield. Some loose passing. Jacob Stockdale 5 Made a mess of Elliot Daly’s chip leading to second English try. Quiet in attack. Stockdale struggled to deal with the bounce and it led to Daly scoring for the away side Jonathan Sexton 5 Hadn’t played for a month, and it showed Found space at a premium and gave away careless second-half penalty. Conor Murray 5 Excellent box kicking but passing and running game lacked sharpness. Current form is a big worry. Cian Healy 7 Muscled his way for first-half try and had the measure of Kyle Sinckler at scrum time. Worked hard. Cian Healy pulled a try back for the hosts early in the first half at the Aviva Stadium Rory Best (Captain) 6 Crooked throw just before half-time could have proved costly. Struggled to make impact. Tadhg Furlong 7 Scythed down by English tacklers in the first half, but grew into contest after the break with some big carries. Devin Toner 6 Oversaw a slick lineout operation as usual. Worked hard before making way for Quinn Roux. James Ryan 7 Knocked on first carry, but settled into the contest after that. Met wall of English defenders all evening. James Ryan knocked on first carry, but he settled into the contest after that on Saturday Peter O’Mahony 6 Squared up to Kyle Sinckler during one feisty exchange. Unquestionable workrate, but influence waned. Josh van der Flier 6 Ferocious competitor. Made 17 tackles. Needs to offer more as a turnover threat. CJ Stander 6 Did his best work in defence with 17 tackles, but struggled to impose himself with ball in hand. Replacements Sean Cronin 6 (for Best 65) Couldn’t make usual impact. Dave Kilcoyne 7 (for Healy 62) One notable carry, but English forwards were well on top. Andrew Porter 6 (for Furlong 62) Another outshine by ferocious English bench. Quinn Roux 6 ( for Toner 57) Big hit on Lawes but faded after that. Sean O’Brien 5 (for Stander 65) Sent on to inject power in Ireland’s game, but struggled to do so. John Cooney 7 (for Murray 77) Consolation try on his Six Nations debut. Joey Carbery 6 (for Ringrose 73) Ireland were dead and buried by the time he arrived. Jordan Larmour 6 ( for Earls 40) Offered pace and invention from the bench, but spilled possession. ENGLAND by Simon Mills Elliot Daly 8 Cool-headed execution and a step up from the autumn in defence. Assist for first try, chip and follow-up for the second. Classy. Elliot Daly scored England's second try after Jacob Stockdale failed to deal with the bounce Jack Nowell 8 Bustling with energy and harassed Ireland all over the field, most notably for the Daly try. Crazy to think his place was in doubt last year. Henry Slade 8 Might not have played if Ben Te’o was fit but smoothly efficient in a brand-new midfield combination and scored match-winning tries. Manu Tuilagi 8 Only his 10th Six Nations game and first start in the tournament since 2013 but involved from the first minute and dominated collisions in new. Welcome back. Jonny May 9 Up for the fight, defensively sound bar one wobble and clinical finish for opening try. Arguably the world’s form wing now. Jonny May crossed to give the visitors the lead over the Grand Slam champions Owen Farrell 9 Cool head, calm leadership and clinical execution of some inventive attacking work. His flat pass to Daly for the opening score was a thing of beauty Ben Youngs 7 Has endured some horrors in Dublin in the past but in the thick of the action if operating below his highest standards. Mako Vunipola 9 England had all their Test-match animals back in harness for this game and Mako delivered brilliantly against the rugged Tadhg Furlong Jamie George 8 Secure at lineout, untroubled in scrum, England didn’t miss Dylan Hartley unduly. Kyle Sinckler 8 Increasingly important making key carries to dent Ireland’s defence. On this form set for a 70-plus cap career. Owen Farrell converted three of England's tries on Saturday at the Aviva Stadium Maro Itoje 8 Plays right on the edge —and over it at times — but kept on roaring and a monstrous presence at the breakdown. George Kruis 7 England needed an accomplished lineout brain to take on one of Ireland and he can’t be faulted in this area. Mark Wilson 7 Thoroughly hard working, ground covering, breakdown hitting, tackle making show from the increasingly valuable Newcastle man. Tom Curry 7 His first Six Nations game and the alarm bells went off when the 20 year-old was binned for a late hit but Curry recovered to shore up England’s defence. His first Six Nations game and the alarm bells went off when the 20 year-old was binned Billy Vunipola 8 Was he fully fit? Despite all the niggles that ruled him out of the autumn, he looked it. A really impressive return for England’s powerhouse. Replacements Luke Cowan-Dickie (for George 77), Ellis Genge (for M Vunipola 77), Harry Williams 7 (for Sinckler 65), Courtney Lawes 7 (for Kruis 51), Nathan Hughes 7 (for Itoje 54), George Ford (for Tuilagi 77), Chris Ashton (for Nowell 74), Dan Robson - not used.
