A long line-out throw from Lee Mears five metres from England's tryline goes horribly wrong and lands straight into the hands of Ireland number eight Denis Leamy, who touches down for the score. Referee Whitehouse goes to the video referee, who confirms Leamy's touchdown was legitimate. O'Gara adds the conversion.

The try stemmed from what looked like a legitimate quick line-out throw from Ben Cohen from an O'Gara kick, but the touch judge said the winger was in the field of play when he took the throw. Replays showed the winger was behind the touchline when he made the throw.

14 mins: PENALTY England 5-8 Ireland

Ireland must beat England by 34 points if they are to prise away the Six Nations trophy from France's grasp.

The Irish won on their last visit to Twickenham and are bidding for a third straight victory over the world champions.

Victory for Eddie O'Sullivan's side would secure a second Triple Crown in three years and their eighth in total.
