Marcus Smith kicked a last-gasp drop-goal as England stunned Ireland and ended their chance to win back-to-back Grand Slams in a Six Nations thriller at Twickenham.

Ireland had the Six Nations title snatched away from them in dramatic fashion following an exciting finish at Twickenham. James Lowe thought he had given Ireland the victory with a late try as they trailed 20–17 to England, but Marcus Smith denied them with a drop goal in the final seconds. This implies that England will go into the final weekend of the Six Nations tournament with a four-point advantage over Ireland.
