Ireland rout England at Twickenham to keep Six Nations title hopes alive

Ireland delivered a commanding performance at Twickenham, overwhelming England 21–42 in a one-sided Six Nations clash that kept their championship ambitions firmly intact while exposing deep concerns for the hosts.

Racing to a dominant early lead, Andy Farrell’s revitalised side outplayed England across the park, capitalising on defensive lapses and poor execution to record their biggest-ever win over England at the venue.

The defeat overshadowed Maro Itoje’s 100th Test appearance and leaves Steve Borthwick’s side facing mounting scrutiny after back-to-back disappointing performances in the tournament.
