Vunipola sent off as Ireland beat England in Dublin

Mack Hansen scored Ireland's fourth try of the game after Billy Vunipola's red card

England forward Billy Vunipola was sent off as Ireland secured a major momentum boost before the World Cup by scoring five tries in a comfortable win.

Vunipola was dismissed just before Ireland's third try for a high tackle.

England, who were missing captain Owen Farrell amid his ongoing disciplinary saga, managed one late try in reply through Kyle Sinckler.

England number eight Vunipola was shown a yellow card for a challenge on Ireland prop Andrew Porter but it was upgraded to a red following a review, so like his captain Farrell the forward's World Cup hopes now hang in the balance.
