Martin Johnson and his English teammates shunted Ireland off their red carpet and Jonny Wilkinson did the rest. England won the Grand Slam in controversial style.
A double dose of reality for an England team lost without Wilkinson's ever reliable kicks and drop goals. Brian O'Driscoll ran in a try and O'Gara contributed 14 from the kicking tee.
Shane Horgan won the match with three minutes and three millimetres to spare as he stretched over for a try in the right-hand corner.
A thrashing at Croke Park. God Save the Queen played out to an eerie silence, Horgan scoring off a O'Gara crossfield kick and Isaac Boss with the exclamation point try.
Danny Cirpiani kicked 18 points and three tries, from Jamie Noon, Matthew Tait and Paul Sackey sealed a comfortable win.
The scoreline suggests a tight match but Ireland had the upper hand for 70 minutes before a late English surge caused wobbles. O'Driscoll scored a fantastic pick and dive try from close range.
Back to winning ways in Twickenham thanks, in large part, to a brace of Tommy Bowe tries. Accidentally clattered O'Driscoll with a knee to the head.
England arrived in Dublin seeking the win that would deliver a Grand Slam. They still left as champions but defeated, shell-shocked captains.
The final World Cup warm-up match went badly wrong as Manu Tuilagi ran amok and O'Connell lost two Munster and Ireland teammates, Felix Jones and David Wallace, to bad injuries.
