Ireland have been warned they must successfully deal with England’s “all-court game” if they are to finish the 2021 Guinness Six Nations on a high in Dublin on Saturday.

Both sides have rallied after disappointing starts to the championship and took significant encouragement from their fourth-round outings last weekend, Ireland winning in Scotland and the English ruining a young French team’s hopes of a first Grand Slam since 2010 at Twickenham.
