England forward Billy Vunipola is sent off as Ireland secure a major momentum boost before the World Cup by scoring five tries in a comfortable win.
England forward Billy Vunipola was sent off as Ireland secured a major momentum boost before the World Cup by scoring five tries in a comfortable win.
following the England fly-half's 'bunker' red card against Wales last week and now head coach Steve Borthwick risks losing Vunipola too. Ireland, who secured what Andy Farrell described as a "clunky" win over Italy a fortnight ago, were subdued in the opening exchanges despite the head coach restoring several of his key players.
The end of the half brought mixed emotions for Ireland. While the sight of hooker Dan Sheehan hobbling off will be a concern given Ronan Kelleher lack of availability recently, the hosts managed to stretch their lead in first-half added time through Ringrose's try. Immediately after Byrne missed his conversion, Vunipola's yellow was upgraded to a red by the bunker review system to deepen England's woes in Dublin.
