England wrapped up a miserable 2021 Six Nations campaign with a third defeat of the tournament by Ireland on Saturday.
Eddie Jones’ side massively flattered to deceive once again in Dublin despite their morale-boosting win over France in round four, with first-half tries from Keith Earls and Jack Conan.
Johnny Sexton kicked like a dream from the tee with 22 points, with England at least making things respectable late on through Ben Youngs and Jonny May - but only after Bundee Aki had been sent off for a hit to the head on Billy Vunipola.
The visitors were once again racked by ill-discipline at the Aviva Stadium, with 14 more penalties to take their record for the tournament to a staggering 67.
Questions to answer for Jones as the 2019 World Cup finalists appear to be going backwards under his leadership, but unquestionably the best win to date of Andy Farrell’s spell as Ireland coach.
