However, not only did Andy Farrell’s side lift the prestigious Six Nations prize in March by winning all five matches.

But Ireland followed that up with a convincing 33-17 win over Italy a couple of weeks ago.

Furthermore, England have failed to beat the Irish on the last THREE occasions, so Steve Borthwick’s men will need to dig deep if they are to finally get the win.
