Interim Ireland boss Simon Easterby praised his players for problem solving on the run as they came from behind to beat England in a 27-22 bonus-point victory to get their Guinness Six Nations title defence up and running in Dublin on Saturday.

Ireland had trailed 10-5 to the English at half-time but the second half brought a distinct change in momentum with Bundee Aki, Tadhg Beirne and Dan Sheehan adding to man of the match Jamison Gibson-Park’s opening try before the interval.
