Ireland's Stockdale breaks Six Nations record against England
By Ben Spratt
Jacob Stockdale became the first player to score seven tries in a Six Nations campaign as Ireland closed in on a Grand Slam at Twickenham.
The Ulster man crossed in first-half stoppage time against England on Saturday, ensuring Ireland - chasing a fifth win out of five - took a commanding 21-5 lead into the break.
That try was a record seventh for Stockdale, who had scored six times in his previous three matches.
Stockdale scored braces against Italy, Wales and Scotland and had the chance to target a fourth double in a row in the second half against England.

The fixture may have been overly friendly recently, and connaught appeared to be a bit unstuck by the venom and vitriol from Ulster. Doak had an amzing game shooting out with perfect timing to disrupt onnaught on every attacking phase. On paper connaught should have had this. Well done to Ulster. connaught were suckered a bit.
