VIDEO - Game versus Ireland in 2000

Englands' first game of the 2000 Six Nations was against Ireland which England won 50-18, see the game report below

Totally outclassed for large chunks of this lop-sided Six Nations' contest, Ireland redeemed a little bit of pride from a 25-3 interval deficit but still conceded a record number of points in the championship's history.

The 32-point winning margin fell short of England's record 46-6 win over Ireland three years ago but the half-century was still a fair reflection of the ability with which Clive Woodward's slick outfit were able to prise open the Irish defence.

The abiding memory of the match was of out-stretched green arms flailing at the men in white speeding past them.

Often out-muscling Ireland up front, where the visiting scrum was in trouble throughout, England's runners came on to much quicker ruck ball at far greater depth and speed than Ireland's comparatively laboured runners, and had all-purpose creativity along the white line in players like Mike Catt, Neil Back and Austin Healy.

Ireland did ring the changes, and there was even a second international try for ol' Lazarus himself, Mick Galwey, but this try against England will have given him and his countrymen scant satisfaction compared to the more memorable first in the win of `93.

Ultimately, England deservedly outscored Ireland by six tries to two and it's difficult to see where Ireland and Warren Gatland can go from here. In a bid to liven up the attack and play more of a running game, the relatively solid, in-yer-face defence which has been a hallmark of his reign all but capsized.

There were few redeeming features, Kieron Dawson making a monumental tackle count and lending some deft handling to the equation on the rare occasions Ireland offered him an attacking threat, while there were occasional glimpses of class from Brian O'Driscoll to augment a mighty defensive effort from himself.

It didn't help Ireland's cause that Bob Casey was clearly carrying the ankle injury which sidelined him from training earlier in the week before departing at the half-way point. But given the last chance saloon afforded many of the 11 who survived the Lens defeat in the World Cup, this game may have signalled the end of some international careers.

Ominously, for example, both Dion O'Cuinneagain and Conor O'Shea were replaced during the second-half.

Forced to make over twice as many tackles throughout a squirm-inducing first-half, Ireland suffered heavily with the new law in relation to the tackle and the torrent of penalties against the visiting side enabled Jonny Wilkinson to kickstart his personal haul of 20 points with a couple of early penalties.

With Ireland unable to establish any set-piece foothold, the dam began to burst from the 18th minute when slick handling by Healy, Catt and Matt Perry enabled debutante Ben Cohen to step inside Malcolm O'Kelly and O'Shea before eluding Tom Tierney's covering tackle; Wilkinson converting.

England's varied angles of running from deep and close support play saw Cohen cut back inside, and though hauled down by David Humphreys and O'Cuinneagain, Wilkinson was in support to put Healy over and add the conversion.

In response to a Humphreys penalty, Catt's show of the ball and step left Peter Clohessy and Casey for dead, and Healy was in support to make it 25-3 at the break. Ireland were lucky enough to be three.

A 60-pointer or worse looked on the cards when Matt Dawson sniped and Back was in support for the seven-pointer within three minutes of the break, before things improved moderately for Ireland. O'Driscoll was the catalyst after Mike Mullins, who had a decent enough game, took the ball up the middle and Humphreys flashed it wide to Justin Bishop.

The winger checked and O'Driscoll arrived at speed, then accelerating up the touchline and brilliantly gathering his own chip over Perry to tie up the three covering defenders. O'Kelly was first to the ruck, and the ball was moved on to Dawson whose skip pass was gathered by Maggs for a sorely needed try.

Humphreys tagged on a long-range penalty, before Wilkinson responded with two of his own. 

Galwey rumbled over from a second tap penalty close-in but the effort was such that Ireland were palpably easy prey for the quick retort of Matt Tindall's try in the corner and in injury time Healy and Back deftly probed the blind side for Cohen to round the posts for his second try.

Wilkinson's conversion brought about a fitting ignominy.
