There’s few ways to start any edition of the Six Nations better than with Ireland vs England in front of a big crowd in Dublin. Revenge will be on the Irish minds come this weekend as defeat to Steve Borthwick’s side last year ended any hopes of a Grand Slam.

Johnny Sexton has been helping form Ireland's masterplan for their Six Nations opener against England on Saturday.

Maro Itoje says England are "ready to go" as they bid to upset the odds by launching their Six Nations campaign with a defeat of twice defending champions Ireland in Dublin. But they were also the only side to beat Ireland in last year's Six Nations and Itoje believes a new-look England can repeat that Twickenham triumph at Lansdowne Road.
