ENGLAND suffered a shocking second-half collapse against Ireland as their Six Nations opener fell apart in a 27-22 defeat. The Red Roses dominated the first 40 minutes before the Boys in Green showed them what's what in the next. Ireland scored three tries in a rampant second-half display as they launched their bid for a third successive Six Nations title. While two late tries from Tommy Freeman and Tom Curry, who made history after starting alongside brother Ben, offered some sort of consolation in the way of a losing bonus point.
