England ended Ireland's hopes of a Grand Slam in this season's Six Nations with a 24-12 win at Twickenham on Sunday. First-half tries by George Ford and Elliot Daly were converted by England captain Owen Farrell, who also kicked a penalty, to give his side a commanding 17-0 interval lead against an Ireland team coached by his father, Andy Farrell. Robbie Henshaw's try got Ireland on the scoreboard early in the second half but England replacement Luke Cowan-Dickie was driven over for the hosts' third try in the 62nd minute. Andrew Porter crossed England's line in stoppage time but it was all too little too late for Ireland. jdg/dj
