Ireland fight past dogged England as Charlie Ewels' red card after 82 seconds proves costly

Charlie Ewels sent off after 82 seconds for a head-to-head collision

  • Ireland look like pulling away after scoring early, but penalties keep England in touch

  • England draw level with 20 minutes to go before Ireland score twice to kill off hosts

  • Charlie Ewels’ red card after 82 seconds spelt the end of England’s Six Nations title hopes but they may have regained something even more important in this full-blooded defeat to Ireland: their identity. Never has Twickenham felt prouder of an England team which has lost by 17 points.
