Fans didn't expect much from England this time around following a chastening year for Eddie Jones' men.

However, with two matches left to play, they boast an outside chance of shocking the rugby world. Should they defeat Ireland, the tournament will come down to a winner-takes-all against France in Paris.

Ireland entered the tournament looking like France's biggest threat but they couldn't dislodge Les Bleus in Round 2.

Andy Farrell's men have demolished Wales and Italy as expected though the tournament is out of their hands right now. They need Wales to stun the French and win both of their remaining games to stand a chance.

England v Ireland prediction

This is the box office showdown of the weekend, the hottest ticket, the game that will fill pubs across the land – and across the Irish sea.

This could descend into a brutal slog for both teams with England failing to hit top gear for some time against Ireland. They will look to disrupt the game and shut down Ireland's array of explosive talents.

England should hold out for long periods but in the end, the more coherent Irish unit should prevail on English soil.

England v Ireland prediction: Ireland win
