Cueto: We’re in decent shape

MARK CUETO is convinced England are in the perfect position to beat Ireland on Saturday and take agiant step towards a first RBS SixNations title in eight years.

England are unbeaten heading into the pivotal Twickenham clash but determined to improve on a laboured victory over Italy which prompted fierce criticism.

Jonny Wilkinson bore the brunt of the blame for a lack of attacking ambition after England spent too long embroiled in tedious kicking duels.
