On Saturday, Martin Johnson’s English team will travel to Ireland to contest the final match in this year’s Six Nations tournament. A win will see them crowned not only champions, but also as having won every match – the Grand Slam. It will be the first time since 2003 that they have achieved the feat.
If they lose against the Irish, they can only be pipped to the title if Wales win significantly in France – something which appears very unlikely.
Ireland will certainly not make it easy for England, including skipper Brian O’Driscoll, who is now the joint leading try-scorer of all time in the championship. However, the English are once again looking strong in a world cup year.
