Larmour on for Earls. Not surprising really considering the big knee to the guy he took from Itoje.

Ireland are still sloppy
It seems that the staff asked to try it more.
My nerves! England still in control but Ireland holding them on.
That was fantastic by Ringrose to turn it over
Shame for Itoji, he's had a belter of a game
Irish forwards are getting feck all change out of England.
Van der Flier with a bad hospital pass to Aki there!!
Most of this match has been played in Ireland's half.
Huge letoff there for Ireland!
Ireland's kicking today has left a lot to be desired
If the first half flew by, the second...
Potentially winning try for England
ooooff. That was close. Tough to come back from here.
Feck off. Not checking the pass.
Should have checked the pass.
He's not been the only guilty party by any means (although he is the player who tends to kick most for Ireland) but it's gone slightly unnoticed that Murray hasn't been anywhere near his best since returning from injury, I thought Exeter won the kicking battle at Thomond a couple of weeks ago.
TMO said "You don't want to check the pass?"
Gutting.
Gutting.
Crazy how he doesn't take the TMO's decision to look at the pass
May has been great under the high ball though, and it's come as a surprise to Ireland - they've constantly targeted him thinking it was a weak spot in the pitch
It would have been an interesting call if Marmion was fit. He might have got the nod.
This feels great lads!
I've probably jinxed it

He's been terrific. Ireland can feel aggrieved about the forward pass for the Slade try and getting called for a line out not being straight, when it went towards England's side, which led to three points but the reality is that they've been second best by a long way and the tactics that they thought would hurt England haven't worked at all.
Ireland were unlucky with that forward pass, however they can't blame it all on him, they've been naive and very silly
Complacent is the perfect word
England were too good for us today. Of course they pick a world cup year to turn it on again.
Bingo. Some of the players need a fecking slap - the tactics have been bad, but we've executed them even worse.
That's it I'd say. Not enough time.
Bad call for the try but England deserve the win regardless.
And another try.
And another try.
Revenge for last year brilliant.
Still to one side and a penalty no? Weird even so as it's literally never penalised
Wow what hands there
Holy feck. A bonus point win too.
Slade 
Jeez, another gift for an England try. Ireland have been very poor but take nothing away from England, they have been terrific.
Bonus point as well which I never saw coming pre-match

England have tactically outclassed us today. Too much pressure.
Wasn’t expecting us to win let alone bonus point
Not going to be our year. Worrying with the WC on the horizon.
Yeah I'd agree with that. But swings and roundabouts with all that really. Think we've been worth it.

Consolation try - but my point remains.
Get in England .. 6 nations has got off to a perfect start this year.
Great result. What a start.
