England will attempt to ruin Ireland’s Six Nations Grand Slam party as they travel to Dublin to close out Super Saturday this evening.
Steve Borthwick will be demanding a reaction from his stunned side after any encouraging signs of early progress in the new era were completely wiped away by a 53-10 humiliation at the hands of France in round four.
Such an emphatic loss was their heaviest-ever suffered at Twickenham and third-heaviest anywhere in the world, leaving the new head coach red-faced and fans understandably fearing the absolute worst ahead of an even tougher assignment on paper today.

Ireland are the best team on the planet at the moment by some distance and are just one more win away from a fourth Six Nations Grand Slam, second in five years and first-ever achieved in Dublin that would give Andy Farrell’s men supreme confidence of finally getting over their Rugby World Cup hurdle in France later this year.
But any unlikely slip-up from the relentless Men in Green could open the door for defending champions Les Bleus, who battle Wales in Paris earlier in the day.
