In saying that, there have been few occasions where the away fans made their voices heard quite as much as they did on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Chants of Fields of Athenry could be heard throughout the game, with any positive action from an Ireland player on the field being met with massive roars. As well as that, it seems as though they took some time to poke some fun at their opponents.<\/p>\n<p>READ ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balls.ie\/rugby\/england-david-flatman-mccloskey-gibson-park-ireland-650439\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ex-England Star Admits He May Have Gotten Ireland MOTM Call Wrong<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n        Recommended\n    <\/p>\n<p>                        <a :href=\"https:\/\/www.balls.ie\/rugby\/article.url\" :title=\"article.title\" :aria-label=\"article.title\" class=\"not-prose col-span-2 md:col-span-1 ga-event\" data-category=\"Recommended Article Tracker\" data-action=\"click\" :data-label=\"https:\/\/www.balls.ie\/rugby\/article.url\" :data-value=\"https:\/\/www.balls.ie\/rugby\/article.url\"><\/p>\n<p>                                            <img class=\"aspect-video\" width=\"130\" height=\"73\" :src=\"https:\/\/www.balls.ie\/rugby\/article.image\" :alt=\"'Image for: ' + article.title\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>READ ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.balls.ie\/rugby\/sam-warburton-ireland-v-england-andy-farrell-650382\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Warburton Identifies Overlooked Ireland Moment v England That Andy Farrell Will Love<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ben Youngs Reveals Hilarious Use Of Chant From Ireland Fans At Twickenham<\/p>\n<p>It is rare that Ireland fans get the opportunity to enjoy themselves quite as much at Twickenham, with comfortable wins such as this one a relative rarity.<\/p>\n<p>It was clear that the visitors would win this game from early in the second half.
