Lansdowne takes centre stage

The odds may be against Ireland, but England know they face their toughest test this season in today's RBS Six Nations Grand Slam decider.

England coach Clive Woodward has kept faith with the team who dismissed Scotland 40-9 last weekend, while Ireland boss Eddie O'Sullivan has been bolstered by the return of Gary Longwell and Victor Costello.

England's Ben Kay (shoulder), Mike Tindall (leg) and Matt Dawson (nose) - who will win his 50th cap - have all recovered from knocks ahead of one of the most highly anticipated games in Six Nations history.

The only change for the visitors is on the bench where scrum-half Kyran Bracken and hooker Dorian West replace Andy Gomarsall and Mark Regan respectively.
