After two relatively sketchy wins against Italy and Wales, England's run of victories came to a crashing end a fortnight ago at Murrayfield. You could even argue that the 30-21 score line flattered them, in a game marred by frequent unforced errors and tactical mismanagement.
And yet Steve Borthwick's men still have a slim chance of finishing this year's Six Nations with their hands on the trophy. To do so, they'll have to beat Ireland for the first time in four years — an intimidating feat, considering the rampant form that Andy Farrell's side find themselves in.
Ireland have averaged 35 points a game in their swatting aside of France, Italy and Wales. None of those teams has really come close to properly challenging the Six Nations champions, who combine a potent mix of brawn, brains and pure talent. It doesn't seem to matter the personnel, with the Irish strength in depth and clear game plan making them close to impossible to play — at least for northern hemisphere teams.
Read on and we'll show you how to access England vs Ireland live streams and watch the 2024 Six Nations wherever you are this Saturday.
