Ireland attack coach Mike Catt has challenged his players to be ruthless with the opportunities that come their way when they chase a Six Nations title and Grand Slam against England on Saturday evening.

Andy Farrell’s side has already scored 16 tries across their first four games but there is an undeniable sense of a team that has left points behind them. France held them up over the line four times and they left a bonus point behind them in Edinburgh.
