Irish fans were out in force as Andy Farrell's Ireland team dominated England in their 42-21 victory in the Six Nations at Twickenham on Saturday. Spot any familiar faces? 

Ireland were outstanding at capitalising on the favourites’ weaknesses as they registered their sixth victory in seven meetings between the rivals, producing an upset to invigorate their Six Nations after stumbling through the opening two rounds.

Jamison Gibson-Park ran the show in style with Stuart McCloskey and Caelan Doris among those playing strong supporting roles in a win that has relieved the pressure that was building on head coach Andy Farrell.

Both teams began the afternoon knowing another defeat would remove them from the title race – and it was Ireland who rose to the occasion. 

Gibson-Park was joined on the tryscoring sheet by Robert Baloucoune (26'), Tommy O'Brien (29'), Dan Sheehan (42') and Jamie Osborne (69'). Replacing the dropped Sam Prendergast in the No. 10 shirt, Jack Crowley kicked four of the five conversions and tagged on three penalties.
