All Ireland could muster amid its territorial dominance was a try from scrumhalf Jamison Gibson-Park that came about following a missed tackle from England scrumhalf Alex Mitchell on James Lowe on the left wing. That score came in the last seconds of a sin-binning for Smith that England weathered gamely.
“It was a little patchy to begin with but we produced some nice stuff in the end. A lot of credit to England,” Gibson-Park said.In the 142 years of the tournament, which started out as an event for the home unions before the additions of France and then Italy, no team has won the title outright for three straight years.
The temperature inside Lansdowne Road rose when Lowe got involved in a scuffle with England fullback Freddie Steward that saw the Ireland supporters gain their voice early in the second half.
