Next up for Ireland is a trip to Murrayfield to take on Scotland.

With both team's winning their opening matches it should be an absolute cracker in Edinburgh.

Ireland Rugby

Ireland interim head coach Simon Easterby on British and Irish Lions head coach Andy Farrell's help this week: "Andy has been a great support. We haven't caught up yet but I am sure we will later. He will continue to support me."

Ireland Rugby

Ireland interim head coach Simon Easterby on England's final try: "It gives them a bonus point and that is in a competition where bonus points are important.

"The result stands and it didn't change it. We would have taken that result at the start of the day."

On Scotland: "It sets us up for a huge challenge in Murrayfield. They are off a good result as well. It is an important place to go and get a result. It will be incredibly tough."

Ireland Rugby

Ireland's captain Caelan Doris on the half-time conversation with players: "We needed to get back to doing things our way.

"A feeling at the end of the first-half that we thought we were going to break them and when we were getting into their 22 and score zone, things were going to happen for us."

Ireland Rugby

Ireland interim head coach Simon Easterby on his fly-halves: "I thought Sam Prendergast was excellent at times and created some really nice opportunities. And like the autumn, Jack Crowley came on, impacted the game and finished it well."

BBC Sounds

A reminder that the Rugby Union Weekly podcast has gone daily for the Six Nations and will be available to listen to on BBC Sounds later this evening, with further analysis and reaction from today's match and also Scotland's win over Italy.

Ireland Rugby

Ireland's captain Caelan Doris: "It is definitely satisfying [getting the win]. It's huge in this competition, you can’t win it in the first round, but you can lose it or dampen it essentially.

"I think we showed what we are capable of at times. It was a good 10 days leading up to this and there is a strong belief in the plan we have within our attack.

"As we get deeper into the tournament it’s going to be something we need to get stronger with and we need to develop."

Ireland Rugby

Ireland interim head coach Simon Easterby: "We had to find a way. We felt if we did a few things better in the way we were doing things, then we would get the rewards.

"England defended well and made it tough for us. We are happy with how our set-piece went.

"The guys who started laid a good foundation as it wasn't easy. It was physical and all you'd expect. The bench benefitted from the work done."

That winning feeling...

England Rugby

England head coach Steve Borthwick on France next weekend: "We are looking forward to being back at Twickenham next week in front of our supporters. You are starting to see a team who are learning how to really move the ball and develop our attack.

"Ireland are a world-class team and have been for a long time. They have been in the top four consistently. That experience told in the third quarter."

England Rugby

England captain Maro Itoje: "It is what it is.

"Our role is to learn from it and build and get better. There are large parts of our game which we took a step forward today. The energy we had on the field and the vibrancy we had in our attack is admirable.

"Of course there are things we need to learn and get better at."

There was a lot of talk pre-match about the selection of Sam Prendergast over Jack Crowley at 10 for Ireland, but both men played their part in seeing out the win.

England Rugby

England head coach Steve Borthwick: "You've seen two different teams. An Ireland team that have been together for a huge amount of time with nearly 1200 caps against an England team that has been building over the last six months.

"Just over half the number of caps. At the start you didn't see a difference. I thought we took a step forward with our attack."

Next up, it's time to hear from Ireland interim head coach Simon Easterby, who picked up his first win in charge, and captain Caelan Doris.

You can watch the press conference hear what they have to say.

England Rugby

England captain, Maro Itoje speaking about his first game as captain: "It’s always been a tremendous honour to be in this position. The team receive me well and it was a good test match.

"Overall how I found the captaincy, it was fine"

England Rugby

England captain, Maro Itoje speaking on what he said in the changing room: "We pretty much said look the first half was good the second half we didn’t execute the game plan in terms of territory.

"I am proud of the way the boys fought to the very end. We fought to get the bonus point at the end and that’s admirable."

England Rugby

England head coach Steve Borthwick: "Immense credit to Ireland they are such an experienced team. It was a tough Test match in that third quarter and I thought they did really well.

"That was the critical period and that allowed them to get scoreboard pressure. I am very proud of how our players attacked the game in the first half and came back at the end to score a few tries to get the bonus point.

"The team, against one of the best attacking sides in the world, have improved defensively."
