Ireland survived a late scare to beat England 14-13 at Croke Park on Saturday and keep alive its chances of a Six Nations Grand Slam.
Ireland was leading 14-6 with two minutes left when Delon Armitage touched down for the visitors. The conversion left England within a single score and throwing the ball about with uncharacteristic confidence following the restart, but time ran out when wing Mark Cueto spilled the ball in a tackle.
The result leaves Ireland alone at the top of the Six Nations standings with a maximum six points from three matches. The Irish are the only team still able to complete a Grand Slam of wins. Trips to Scotland and defending champion Wales, which lost 21-16 to France on Friday, stand between Ireland and a first Grand Slam since 194
