Jack Grealish and Declan Rice may have grown up playing for Ireland but there is no question where their loyalties lie now after leading England to a comfortable win in Dublin.
Rice smashed an impressive England into the lead to get interim coach Lee Carsley - who represented Ireland 40 times as a player - off to a fine start in his quest to become Gareth Southgate's permanent successor. The Arsenal midfielder then set up the second goal for Grealish which was an exhibition of slick passing.
England let their foot off the gas in the second half but always looked comfortable and began their UEFA Nations League campaign in style.
