The 2012 6 Nations Championship concludes this weekend as England host Ireland at Twickenham, in a match which could still see Stuart Lancaster’s crowned champions against all the odds.

The 2012 6 Nations Championship concludes this weekend as England host Ireland at Twickenham, in a match which could still see Stuart Lancaster’s crowned champions against all the odds.

After last week’s impressive win over the French in Paris, Toby Flood is again left out with Owen Farrell continuing at 10, while Phil Dowson remains in the reckoning despite being knocked unconscious at the Stade De France.

Ben Morgan’s towering performance last week sees him keep his place at number 8, as England look to sign off their campaign in style.

New-father Ben Foden retains his place at full-back, as England search for their first victory of the tournament at HQ, and the hosts will be desperate to avenge the defeat to Ireland the last time the two met on English soil.

In this video, Brad Barritt, Tom Palmer, and new wing Charlie Sharples preview the contest.
