LONDON (Reuters) - Ireland winger Jacob Stockdale set a Six Nations record on Saturday when he touched down his seventh try of the championship in his team's grand-slam clinching 24-15 victory over England at Twickenham.

The 21-year-old benefited from a TMO ruling that he hand knocked the ball forward with his knee rather than his hand as he chased and dived on the ball for Ireland's key third try just before halftime.
