Ireland beat England 27-22 at the Aviva Stadium in their opening Six Nations match.

Simon Easterby's side came from behind 10-5 down at half-time to lead the hosts 17 points.

The result was the first time Ireland had found their rhythm in the autumn Six Nations .

Ireland 's bench players Dan Sheehan and Jack Conan came on in the second half to spark a turnaround.

Of course, Ireland are currently enjoying a 10 -game winning run against Scotland , and when they last visited Edinburgh two years ago they needed flanker Josh van der Flier to throw into the line-outs with prop Cian Healy scrummaging at hooker and still managed to come out on top. The Six Nations is often said to be a tournament where momentum is paramount. Having struggled to find it all autumn long, after such an emphatic second half on Saturday , it suddenly feels Ireland have plenty once again..
