The key areas Farrell’s side must get right against England1 – Ireland must be on the money in this area in Twickenham, as they were at the Aviva Stadium on Friday night. 4 – Ireland haven’t been able to lay a glove on England in the contact area in recent meetings. Andy Farrell’s men stepped up their physicality, albeit against a below-par Wales side, but they must hit even greater heights. Porter (yellow) gets over the gain line in this instance, thanks to a double latch from Peter O’Mahony (black) and Josh van der Flier (blue). 5 – England will come flying off the defensive line, so Ireland must find a way to counteract it.
