A memorable night for England

Thank you for joining us this evening on what was an encouraging display for England ahead of their rest of the Six Nations campaign and beyond that, the World Cup.

You can recap all the action below and keep up to date with all the latest Six Nations news and results with Express Sport.

Slade delight

Henry Slade starred for England, scoring two tries and after the match he expressed his delight at the win.

He told ITV: “It’s a great feeling coming over here and getting a win. We dug in today. We had a lot of defending to do. We’ve put in a big shift over the last couple of weeks in camp.

“We knew exactly how we wanted to play and we executed it perfectly. The half-backs controlled the game well and everyone put themselves on the line.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever had the chance to play with Manu Tuilagi. I really enjoyed playing with him and who knows? Maybe we can carry on.”

Murray disappointment

Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray was heavily critical of his side’s slow start to the match.

“We started slow. We gave up a couple of soft tries and against a side of England’s quality your’e always going to be struggling when you do that. Our start killed us,” he told ITV.

“We did steady the ship a bit and got back into it but then we were a bit flat coming out. It’s hard to put your finger on it but against England you can’t afford to be flat.”

Jones pleased after triumph 

England coach Eddie Jones was pleased with how his side executed his game plan.

He told ITV: “We had a good preparation, the guys came together really well and we had a good base from the autumn.”

Jones was also pleased with Elliot Daly and Henry Slade: “They are both good players and I have not seen a back that doesn’t make mistake. We wanted them to try things and I thought both were outstanding.

“We want to play good England rugby and that involves attacking kicks. We want to exploit space in behind and I think that is what we did.”
