England will be grateful that this game is being played at home as memories of last years’ embarrassment at Croke Park will surely haunt a few of the English players. England were "woeful" last week against Scotland and will have to bring out their entire arsenal if they are to contain the Irish pack. The loyal English fans will bring their numbers to provide some extra motivation as two title contenders put in the final nail.
