Smith last-gasp drop-goal hands England victory

Marcus Smith kicked a last-gasp drop-goal as England produced their best display of the Steve Borthwick era to stun Ireland in a Six Nations thriller.

England trailed by two points after James Lowe's late try before Smith chipped the ball over with the final act to send Twickenham into delirium. George Furbank and Ben Earl both scored to hand England the lead before Lowe appeared to clinch Ireland the title.Fantastic game. Been a long time since we put in a performance like that.What a game!Well played Ireland. A class act. But today it's our day!Speed was everything, well done Mitchell and Earl. Please be last game for Ford, Daly and Care….. how Care thought it was the right thing to do was to kick in the 77th minute makes the mind boggle.

England should rightfully be grand slam champions in waiting. This is very likely next year as soon as the world rugby match officials scandal breaks.Speaking as a pretty downbeat Irishman I can only congratulate England on bringing a game plan and basically sticking to it. Wasn’t sure about our decision making at key moments - not least kicking at the end there. But we were rattled for the first time in a long time.
