Ireland vs England live stream: preview
It could be a St Patricks weekend to remember for Ireland as they look to seal their first Six Nations title and Grand Slam since 2018 with a win over England on home soil at the Aviva Stadium this afternoon. It's a seasonably soaking afternoon and the green shirts, and hats, will be out in force in the stands. It might not be as easy as Irish fans are hoping, however.
Ireland's bruising 22-7 victory over Scotland in Edinburgh last time out came at a cost. Garry Ringrose and Iain Henderson are both ruled out for the England game after sustaining injuries. Robbie Henshaw and Ryan Baird have been drafted into the Irish starting XV as replacements, while Jamison Gibson-Park is preferred over Conor Murray.
After an abject display in their thrashing at the hands of France Twickenham last weekend, this match provides an opportunity for some much needed redemption for England but the Red Roses haven't been the best at taking those during the Six Nations.
With no championship hopes to fuel them through this one, the only possible prize for Steve Borthwick's men is spoiling the party in Dublin, and that doesn't feel like enough to get a result as underdogs.
There are four changes to the England side which flopped so badly last Saturday, with Skipper Owen Farrell recalled and Marcus Smith making way at 10.
Manu Tuilagi meanwhile replaces the sidelined Ollie Lawrence, while Henry Arundell is in line for his first Test as a starter on the wing.
Ireland vs England kicks off at 5pm GMT / 1pm ET today, Saturday 18th March, at the Aviva Stadium. Make sure you know how to watch an Ireland vs England Six Nations 2023 live stream.
