Ireland vs England LIVE! Six Nations 2023 match stream, latest scores 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 last 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.

Nick Purewal’s thoughts before the game
key fight
Jack Willis versus Josh van der Flier
Former Wasps flanker Willis is so strong at the breakdown that he is desperate to leave Toulouse to sign him on a renewed contract on French soil. Van der Flier is the World Player of the Year, dominating through breathtaking accuracy in every facet of the game. If Willis can oust Van der Flier here, England might have a chance to win.
key fight
Maro Itoje vs James Ryan
Itoje recently admitted he has been struggling with an illness that has affected his form. Respect to the Saracens Castle for not further detailing his problem but still pointing out a reason why he lost some of his poignancy. However, the Lions star needs to be at his best against the incomparable Ryan. Whichever lock dominates the set piece can expect to lead their team home.
key fight
Henry Arundell vs. Mack Hansen
Originally from London, Irish speedster Arundell is made for his progress at Harrow School. In comparison, Hansen is the absolute journeyman who has traveled the world from Australia to his current home. Arundell has to deal with Ireland’s air attack and England then have to give him a decent ball so he can do what he does best.
