Ireland head to Twickenham knowing that a bonus point victory would see them crowned Six Nations champions once more with a game to spare.

Standing in their way is an England side that have struggled so far in the tournament, edging out Italy and Wales before losing to Scotland at Murrayfield last time out.

In contrast, Ireland have cruised through the tournament so far, winning all three games while conceding just 24 points in the process.

And with a strong record over England in recent times, another dominant Irish performance looks to be on the cards on Saturday.

Calvin Nash to score a try

Calvin Nash has two tries in this year’s Six Nations and ranks in the top five for metres carried and gained in the tournament.

The Irish winger offers excellent betting value at odds against, with his teammate James Lowe on the opposite wing, odds-on to grab a try at some point.
