England easily beat Ireland at the Aviva Stadium. in Dublin, when their preparation for the World Cup suffered yet another setback.
The most talked about moment of the game was Billy Vunipola's red card after he hit the Irishman Andrew Porter.
Below Telegraph Sport evaluates the performance of the players on the show.
England15. Freddie Steward
Returned to the place of his nightmarish red card, which he controversially received for five months. Harry Ringrose sold him too easily for trying. 5/10
14. Anthony Watson
He touched the ball in the first exchange, which for the England winger is at least better than last week, but there is not much more to say. 4/10
13. Joe Marchant
At times looked a little awkward in a non-existent England attack that has yet to show any signs of green shoots. 4/10
12. Manu Tuilagi
During his first appearance in the summer, he was part of a defender who didn't live up to his true potential. Tried to intervene, with varying success. 4/10
11. Elliot Daly
It looks like he wanted the ground to swallow him up after missing a penalty kick. Is he to blame for Ringrose's attempt? He fled from his flank, inviting Mac Hansen to deliver a clear blow across the field. 3/10
10. George Ford
After Owen Farrell's impending ban, this was the moment he was in the spotlight. Scored my first penalty but missed the second. Struggled to get the back line to work, which would only exacerbate England's attacking problems. 4/10

Did the show at a normal pace. He showed positive intention with a series of kicks on the box, but those who were outside did not sing from the same song sheet. Made a terrible slip on the Ford laces. 3/10
1. Ellis Jenge
Too many times found himself isolated in support and always turned a blind eye to the ever-present threat of Ireland in the counter. Fairly static in his handling of the ball. 4/10
2. Jamie George
Guilty of starting an early purge, which set the tone for an evening of indiscipline in England. 4/10
3. Will Stewart
Probably responsible for Aki's attempt, didn't stumble upon his man sooner, allowing Van der Fliehr to open up England's defenses. 4/10
4. Maro Itoye
Eaten all the leftovers I could and made some decent carries the few times England didn't have their back to the wall. Lucky his hi-tech wasn't higher. 5/10
5. David Ribbans
Called for offside early in the game, emblematic of England's poor discipline in the first half, and Ollie Chessum was ruled offside shortly after half-time. 4/10
6. Courtney Lowes
He applied some defense and pressure in the lineout, but after a chaotic week when England desperately needed some kind of unity, his leadership qualities proved insufficient. 4/10
7. Ben Earl
The jury is still out on whether he did enough to make the seven his own. Celebrated one of Ireland's uneven middles like he'd won the World Cup. 4/10
8. Billy Vunipola
He landed a free-kick, to the delight of Dublin. His headshot to Andrew Porter was inevitably upgraded to red by the bunker. Another ban is looming, as is Crisis #8 for Borthwick. 2/10
Replacements — 4/10
Theo Dan instead of George, 66.
Joe Marler for Genge, 56.
Kyle Sinclair for Stuart, 44.
Ollie Chessum for Ribbans, 51
Jack Willis instead of Lowes, 74 years old.
Danny Care instead of Young, 56 years old.
Marcus Smith instead of Watson, 69 years old.
Ollie Lawrence instead of Tuilagi, 61 years old
Ireland15. Hugo Keenan
He spent too much time on the run, but he kept a pair of hands firmly under the highball, constantly beating the first invader. Rushed back to pick up Ford's hack. 8/10
14. Mac Hansen
His hair, dyed green in honor of Keith Earles, was hidden under a white cap, so it was a waste of time. Made up for it with his amazing cross-field shot for Ringrose's attempt before grabbing him himself. 9/10
13. Harry Ringrose
Still had to work as a second team of Ireland. Looking back on his best years after suffering a nasty concussion earlier this year, he has been a threat in Irish midfield. 7/10
12. Bundy Aki
Run a perfect support line from O'Mahoney to gallop for his team's first try, which was too easy for Ireland. 7/10
11. James Low
He showed a great attacking initiative and brought down his massive boot on the tense back line of the England team. He had all the time in the world to get to Ireland's third place. 7/10
10. Ross Byrne will almost certainly play second fiddle to Johnny Sexton in France, but despite the latter's continued suspension, he has performed well. Made a dreamy pass to Lowe's account. 7/10
Ross Bryan's performance will delight Andy Farrell. Photo: Getty Images/Ramsey Cardy 9. Jamison Gibson Park
He was always full of energy and always looked ready to unleash Ireland's attacking juices and bested Youngs with his deft passing game. .6/10
1. Andrew Porter embodied Ireland's stubbornness for freedom and led it through the struggle, where England's weaknesses were further exposed. 7/10
2. Dan Sheehan
Canceled a couple of line-outs, which was a flaw in an otherwise well-coordinated performance. Well done on defense. 6/10
3. Tadh Furlong
Gained a decent amount of carrying meters while playing in white shirts for fun. He seemed to be pleased with his performance, which was like a workout. 6/10
4. Tadh Beirn
Finned early on for not rolling, leading to Ford's first penalty, but had better moments as the game progressed. 6/10
5. James Ryan
A few inconsistencies at the start of the line-up, which was probably Ireland's weakest point in their otherwise neat game plan. 6/10
6. Peter O'Mahony
Good offload to help Aki in Ireland's first leg and he was a real threat on the loose. No doubt it was taken down earlier in order to save energy reserves for France. 6/10
7. Josh Van der Flier
Has played a powerful hand early in his side's game, providing a deft offload to O'Mahoney, and has been his usual nuisance with Ireland. 8/10
8. Cian Prendergast
All day chopping white shirts just after his third Test appearance and bet on a place in Ireland's World Cup team. 6/10
Substitutions — 7/10
Rob Herring replaces Sheehan, 37.
Jeremy Loughman replaces Porter, 72.
Finlay Bilham replaces Furlonga, 56.< /p>
