Match Report

Ireland 13-9 England
England looked like they were going to win another Grand Slam going into their clash against Ireland in front of 51, 700 passionate fans at Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday, March 18th. However Ireland denied England a Grand Slam with a 13-9 victory in the final match of the 2017 Six Nations Championship. Ireland controlled the first half and led 10-3 at the break due to an Iain Henderson try and a Johnny Sexton penalty. Owen Farrell kicked two penalties in a hard-fought second half. The loss to Ireland brought England's record equaling 18-match winning streak to an end. England lost to Ireland as they attempted to earn a record 19th consecutive Test victory as the New Zealand All Blacks did five months ago. The holding champions missed the opportunity to become the first rugby team to achieve back-to-back grand slams in the Six Nations tournaments, as Ireland won in Dublin to clinch second place and Dylan Hartley was presented with the Six Nations championship trophy. The trophy was actually decided in Cardiff by England’s victory against Wales. England’s creativity earned them the Six Nations title with a round to spare in a tournament where there was little to separate the top five sides.

Ireland’s resolute Andrew Conway came off the bench at the start of the second half to win his first cap after Keith Earls suffered a leg injury and no one could get by him. England’s Maro Itoje and Owen Farrell singled Conway out and should have received yellow cards for their challenges on him except for tolerant referee Jérôme Garcès.

Ireland’s unyielding Johnny Sexton was playing without his injured half-back partner Conor Murray, Once Ireland pulled in front with the second-row Iain Henderson’s 23rd-minute try, they were on their way to victory. Next Eddie Jone’s England seemed to lose their composure under pressure, making unforced errors and conceding penalties. England were within a try of winning the Grand Slam with 15 minutes to go, but Ireland held tight and won the match to the delight of the Ireland fans. A highly pressured Itoje had the responsibility of calling the lineouts for the first time and England lost two key throws, Mako Vunipola was brought on at the start of the second half. Billy Vunipola was not in form and Itoje played out of position at times, while James Haskell was mobbed every time he got the ball. Ben Youngs and George Ford had little impact in the clash as did Owen Farrell and Jonathan Joseph. However England were always in the game, just an interception away from victory in the ferocious battle.

England were behind on 10 minutes when Sexton kicked a penalty and leveled through Farrell for three before Henderson scored what turned out to be a decisive try. It was 10-3 at the interval. England rallied in the third quarter. Farrell kicked his second penalty, but Sexton replied from 45 metres and Farrell made it 13-9 in the 66th minute. Ireland overwhelmed the Six Nations champions with their intensity and physicality. The home side halted England's winning run at a record 18 Tests, leaving them level with New Zealand, who were also beaten by Ireland to bring an end to their record run in November. A first-half try from Iain Henderson and eight points from Johnny Sexton established a lead that England could not beat, despite Owen Farrell's three penalties.

Ex-England scrum-half Matt Dawson praised Ireland after the match."I'm applauding Ireland, that was one of the finest Ireland displays I've seen in a long time, the opposition are world class and Ireland have stepped up yet again, a fantastic display,” said Dawson. “I know how these England players feel, they will be low, dejected, but they should be extremely proud of how they have transformed English rugby."

Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt had planned correctly for the match."We just wanted to make sure all the bits and pieces we needed to get right to get a skinny margin over a super team, we ticked those boxes,” said Schmidt. The bit of pride we can take is the three teams that sit above us in the world we have beaten in the last six months."

England head coach Eddie Jones did not prepare well. "Everything was wrong with the preparation because we played like that. I take full responsibility, I didn't prepare the team well and we will respond in the future,” said Jones. "It was a tight old game. One or two things go your way and the game flips, they didn't go our way today, we didn't work hard enough to get those opportunities and that's what happens."

Although a fighting Ireland team wrecked England's Grand Slam dream and ended their world record run of victories, all in all England should be proud of winning back to back Rugby Six Nations titles in 2016 and 2017, suffering only their first loss in 19 games.
