Ireland 10-9 England LIVE! Six Nations 2023 match stream, latest score and rugby updates today
Six Nations Super Saturday concludes with a big clash between old rivals in Dublin tonight. The stage is set for the world’s best team to win a memorable Grand Slam on home soil after a fantastic tournament and fire another big warning shot as they attempt to end their World Cup curse in the fall.
Few would give England a prayer to spoil tonight’s party and deny Ireland a fourth Slam overall, their second in five years and the first in that city, with Steve Borthwick’s side no doubt still feeling the effects of a record win over France at Twickenham gets to feel. But if they could pull off a sizeable upset they would be doing Les Bleus a huge favor by trying to steal the title on the final day when they face Wales in Paris beforehand.
Borthwick will demand a quick reaction from his team as he brings back veteran Test warriors Owen Farrell and Manu Tuilagi for a bloody showdown. Follow Ireland v England in the Six Nations live below, with expert analysis from Nick Purewal at the Aviva Stadium.
