It's the battle between two very strong teams first today!

England and Ireland... age old rivalry!

Stuart Lancaster, England's Head Coach, is looking forward to the battle, and has asked for the whole of England to be behind their team.

Equally looking forward to today's game are the Irish.
Their Head Coach, Joe Schmidt, said "One of the great things about playing England is that they are a very positive team. They get out and they're a very combative team, but very positive.... very competitive!"

Both teams have very strong players, and it looks as though it will be an almighty battle today!

Having English GR Friends, and a mother who was English, BUT an Irish OH .... I have to be NEUTRAL today :-D :-D :-D

ENGLAND v IRELAND kicks off at 2.30pm :-)

Here's some themed music to get you all in the mood for today's games! :-D
