England beat Ireland in Dublin - Manu Tuilagi and Delon Armitage tries


Earlier in the week we took a look at the Manu Tuilagi tackle on David Wallace that resulted in injury, so today we’ll have a quick look at the tries from the match for those who missed it, or just want to watch them again.

As you may have heard by now, Ireland lost their fourth match in succession as England came up trumps 20-9, with tries from Tuilagi and Delon Armitage, as well as some assured kicking from Jonny Wilkinson, proving the difference between the two sides.

Ireland have now slipped from fourth to eighth on the IRB World Rankings in the space of about a month, and while on paper they’ve still got a team who can do well in New Zealand, their form and injury problems will be a major concern.

England on the other hand have bounced back from a few poor performances, and with young Tuilagi in the midfield look to have reignited a few of their senior players, Mike Tindall included. He fed off the Samoan born center’s energy and had one of his best games for England in recent times. In fact the whole side seemed to pick things up, just in time for their RWC departure.

“You want to win games and this is a tough place to come and win. It just demonstrates to us, if we ever have doubts, when we go and do what we talk about doing, its effective and were a pretty decent team,” said coach Martin Johnson.

“There was lots not perfect about it but we did a lot of good things as well.”


Below are short highlights from the match, mainly featuring the tries if you missed them.
