There will be a studied debrief from Andy Farrell and Peter O'Mahony in a couple of minutes - most of you will be able to catch it online.
But this will, as time travels, be a match looked back on in anger.
There is an irritating indent/advertisement that plays in Twickenham and it plays into the home side's self-image - it goes "England are England..."
And it is irritatingly right, England were England which meant they needed the added 'extra' and they got in from their fans who carried them through a number of poor periods.
Ireland, having got themselves into a winning position on too many occasions but most noticeably in the final moments couldn't keep control.
They didn't close out a game they should have won.
Ireland failed to dominate field position which would have been the beating of the straight frontal-rush England side.
There will be questions ultimately as to why Ireland didn't play a game of simpler kicking rugby on a day when the Ireland-obvious play of giving the ball to the first-up wrecker Bundee aki didn't work too well.
To be fair if Ben Earl deserved the Man of the Match award for making 101 metres of 19 carries, there was credit too for Ollie Lawrence who cramped Aki's style, worked hard in the tackle, stopping and/or slowing him down.
Perhaps too, it was the first time we saw rookie out-half Jack Crowley go into himself.
The recriminations won't happen in the next few minutes.
But Andy Farrell and the Ireland side will know the game was there to be controlled - and from there, won.
