England’s Six Nations unravelled spectacularly as they were brutally removed from title contention following a 42-21 rout by Ireland at Allianz Stadium.
A week after their Murrayfield jinx had struck again, Steve Borthwick’s men leaked 22 unanswered points in a dramatic opening half hour with Luke Cowan-Dickie and Freddie Steward hooked before the interval.
And the misery continued into the second half as broken England hardly fired a shot in their first defeat at Twickenham since November 2024.
