Billy Burns insists there will be no conflicted loyalties if he retains an Ireland jersey for this Saturday’s trip to Twickenham.

The former England Under-20 fly-half, whose older brother Freddie Burns played in the same position for England in 2012-13, left Gloucester for Ulster two years ago to pursue his Test rugby ambitions as an Irish-qualified player through his grandfather.
