Reaction as 'Heroic' England fall to late Ireland pressure in Six Nations classic

One of the great Twickenham test matches unfolded on front of the eyes of Six Nations fans on Saturday afternoon as England lost 15-32 having played for 79 minutes with 14 men.

Charlie Ewels was sent off after 82 seconds with the Bath man deemed to have made a dangerous tackle on James Ryan before Ryan's Leinster teammate scored a try which looked like it may be the start of a long afternoon for England.

However, the hosts rallied, and a raucous Twickenham crowd drove England on as they rallied back through a brilliant set-piece display, forcing a number of penalties to bring them back to 15-15 with an hour on the clock.
