England are hoping to have Tom Curry and Joe Launchbury available for this weekend’s must-win Six Nations showdown against Ireland - who Eddie Jones reckons are the ‘most cohesive’ side in world rugby.
Curry, the openside flanker, had to come off at half-time in the 23-19 victory over Wales last time out having failed a head injury assessment while Launchbury would be a welcome sight in the starting XV.
The second row could end his 15-month exile from Test rugby having last played for England in December 2020.
