Greenwood: stakes are high

AS if England didn’t have enough reasons to crave victory at Lansdowne Road, along comes Will Greenwood and adds another to list.

Here's three for starters, Wales at Wembley, the Scots at Murrayfield and that match in Dublin in the autumn of 2001. Three Grand Slams on the line and three gone begging.

Would anyone need any more incentive than that one wonders. Well, the England centre does. He's particularly fed up at yet another request for an explanation about why England can turn Twickenham into a fortress but fall apart at the seams the minute they're away.
