If you're a England fan you'll probably be pretty happy with the display over Ireland.

If you're of the green persuasion things probably aren't looking as rosy after losing 21-13 to the Red Rose. Yes, it was a warm up match - but with the Rugby World Cup just around the corner, it will have given fans of both sides plenty to think about. Early tries for Jonny May and Anthony Watson set an impressive English tone, but Ireland showed some fight after the break. On another day, against more ruthless opponents, Ireland could have been thrashed. But England will be content with a comprehensive victory to round off their World Cup preparations. https://twitter.com/BenJamesHood/status/640184212197363712 https://twitter.com/EnglandRugby/status/640159510728994816 https://twitter.com/tommyla/status/640184136909594624 https://twitter.com/BeWarmers/status/640180965671895040 https://twitter.com/emma43322925/status/640187649949626368 https://twitter.com/retrotextuk/status/640201147509264384 https://twitter.com/roakleyIRL/status/640184508797558784
