Check out how to watch England v Ireland in a Six Nations 2024 match, including TV details and more.
England have the daunting task of stopping juggernauts Ireland at Twickenham this Saturday, with the Irish only in need of one bonus point victory to clinch the Six Nations title.
Steve Borthwick’s men travelled to Murrayfield in round three in a losing effort to Scotland, while Ireland picked up their third bonus point win of the tournament by beating Wales in Dublin.
The hosts will, however, be boosted by the return of young half-back duo Alex Mitchell and Marcus Smith. Whether that will be enough to propel them to victory against the Irish is unlikely.
Andy Farrell’s side are expected to see the incredibly uplifting return of full-back Hugo Keenan and centre Garry Ringrose, the latter of which has yet to feature in this year’s Six Nations.
Ireland have won their last four matches against England, and a fifth will mean only a final day tie against Scotland stands in the way of taking home back-to-back Grand Slams.

England v Ireland key player to watch
Marcus Smith (England)
England’s attack has been, to put it bluntly, really quite bad this year. Misfiring and faltering, it’ll be up to Smith and Mitchell to ignite the attack and find a way through Ireland’s impenetrable defence.
The attack started well against Scotland but degraded into cluelessness. Smith will need to take charge of this game or England won’t fire a shot.
England v Ireland prediction
There was a time when a trip to Twickenham would have been a daunting task for Ireland, winning there just twice in the entire 2010s.
But that fear is long gone, and Ireland will enter southwest London supremely confident that they can not only beat England, but walk away with a bonus point and cement their title win – a final day clash with Scotland the only thing remaining in the way of a Grand Slam.
