Well, it certainly hasn't gone to plan for Ireland so far.
Two absolute howlers from Johnny Sexton and Jacob Stockdale in their own in-goal area handed England two easy tries but they are well-deserving of their lead.
The hosts lead 17-0 at the break.

Shaky start for Johnny Sexton.
Error for try and two poor kicks.
Ireland happy to go for the three now. #ENGvIRE

Rattled. We’re on the road to a proper smashing. #ENGvIRE
