In the handicap market England are -6 points and this is probably right considering the way the Irish have played this year. Many were very critical of O'Sullivan after their defeat against the Welsh and there is very little confidence in the Irish camp this year. England will be looking for revenge from their crushing against Ireland at Croke Park last season and are likely to get it on Saturday.

Ireland come into the game without O'Driscoll and O'Gara replaces him as captain and he will need to lift his team if they are to give England a game this weekend. When he said in a recent interview, he got it right "We have to be positive and I'm excited by this game because it's England at Twickenham. It's a one-off game. There might not be much at stake in terms of finishing position but pride is on the line for me personally and the team. It's a massive occasion for us. Not only are we representing the Irish rugby team, we're representing the Irish public. That's something that's hugely important to me."
