Ireland delivered a statement performance for the ages to stun England and claim a record Six Nations win at Twickenham. Andy Farrell's under pressure team scored five tries as they completely out-played the hosts, who had won their last nine home games going back to 2024.

A first-half blitz put Ireland 22-0 ahead on the half hour mark and Andy Farrell's men were able to contrl the contest from then on. England looked to work their way back into the match, and had a try before the break through Fraser Dingwall, but Ireland hit back immediately in the second half courtesy of Dan Sheehan. The hosts again hit back through Ollie Lawrence but Jamie Osborne sealed victory 10 minutes from time. Sam Underhill added a late consolation for Steve Borthwick's men, who are now reeling from back-to-back defeats. Ireland prosper from fast-paced start The clash started at a frenetic pace and after Jack Crowley鈥檚 penalty gave Ireland a 3-0 lead, Jamison Gibson-Park bagged the first try of the afternoon. Tom Curry was penalised for coming in at the side and the Irish scrum-half opportunistically took the penalty quickly in the corner and darted over the line. Crowley added the extras to make it 10-0. As much as England showed glimpses of their own attacking threat, they lacked the clinical edge they showed against Wales two weeks ago, with a series of kicking and set-piece errors dogged their opening 40 minutes. Crowley miscued a second penalty attempt but Ireland were able to extend their lead shortly after, as Stuart McCloskey tore through England's line to relaease Robert Baloucoune to finish in the corner. Freddie Steward鈥檚 subsequent protestations earned him a yellow card to only deepen mire England found themselves in. Referee Andrea Piardi was forced off with a knee injury, replaced by assistant Pierre Brousset, and Ireland continued to tighten their grip on proceedings in south west London. Baloucoune, alongside Gibson-Park, was enjoying a wonderful afternoon and after exploiting a gap in England鈥檚 defence, it was his simple pass to Tommy O鈥橞rien, one of four first-half replacements, that ensured Andy Farrell鈥檚 men went 22-0 up. It took until the 40th minute for England to finally breach Ireland鈥檚 excellent defensive effort as Dingwall powered through a gap after Marcus Smith, on for Steward, delayed his pass to create the space. Ireland take control The home side may have had the final say of the opening salvo, but the pendulum of momentum swung back in Ireland鈥檚 favour at the start of the second. Henry Pollock, on his first start Guinness Six Nations start, was sinbinned for illegally stopping Ireland鈥檚 charge for the line before England鈥檚 defence then ran out of men as Sheehan powered over to secure the try bonus point. Back up to 15 upon Pollock鈥檚 return, the 21-year-old was decisive in the build-up as England struck back through Lawrence, who had the simple task of dotting down after he was played in by George Ford. Osborne then saw yellow to help England鈥檚 hopes of a comeback but Crowley鈥檚 successful penalty on the hour-mark pushed the men in green鈥檚 advantage to 18 points. England continued to fight but Ireland kept thwarting their efforts as Baloucoune sprinted over to divert Tommy Freeman into touch with the Northampton Saints man metres from the line. Crowley took Ireland to 35 points soon after, the most points Ireland have ever scored at Allianz Stadium, and that total was increased with 10 minutes left as Osborne capped off a lovely Irish move by stretching over the line despite Guy Pepper鈥檚 best efforts. There was still time for Underhill to get another back for England but the result was beyond doubt by that stage, as England were left licking their wounds after defeat at home.
