A former England man goes for home win. No surprises there...

Lots of hype surrounding the scum in the build-up, not much hype about the first one, the ball popping out without incident. Here's Brown, busting through the Welsh defence, swerves inside when perhaps he should have gone for the corner and he's brought down short. The ball bobbles off a Welsh leg, Youngs pounces, it's going upstairs...

Right, we're off, Ford hoisting one for England. Mike Brown under a high one and skips past one tackle. Billy Vunipola with his first carry, Ford with a wraparound, out to Nowell, who is brought down by Biggar. Wales scrum, England not using and losing...

Players are out on the pitch and they're singing some songs, we'll have some play in a few minutes...

One of the great contests of the day promises to be at number eight, with England's Billy Vunipola up against Toby Faletau. Both from Tonga, they played together for East Wales Under-11s before ending up in opposing teams at the highest level. Could be titanic.

Thanks Mike. This, indeed, is Ben Dirs. No disrespect to Ireland and Italy, but I think it's fair to say we are about to crank it up a few notches. Manu Tuilagi on the bench for England, the Leicester centre's last cap came in the defeat by New Zealand in Hamilton in June 2014.

Here to take you through the likely title decider is Ben Dirs.

Enjoy.

Right, the main course.

Messrs Jonathan Davies and Jeremy Guscott both reckon that Wales are narrow favourites for today's titanic Twickenham clash.

Kick-off is a little over 20 minutes away.

Here's a look at Fergus McFadden's try for Ireland - can anyone remember which one that was?

Well done if you said 'ninth'.

Ireland captain Rory Best on ITV: "We talked a lot before the game about things we hadn't done well enough. It's pleasing - to score 58 points in a Six Nations game is an achievement.

"You have got to give respect to the opposition and pick your best team for the game. We have ultimate faith in the coaching staff. The time will come for the youngsters."

Here are the gory details of a disemboweling....

Any Italy fans still bravely reading can at least enjoy seeing Leonardo Sarto's try.

Ireland finish the match hammering away at the door in pursuit of a 10th score.

They come up just short despite more free-range running from Sean Cronin.

A thoroughly enjoyable shake-out of the demons for Ireland as they pick up their first win of the Championship.

"That's what we're looking for from this Irish team - not to go to ground, not to let the ball die..."

Ireland's turn to work through some attack patterns from 22 metres out.

The Aviva crowd quite fancy a crowning score...

Kelly Haimona swings a big pass out wide, Leanardo Sarto bags it and scampers into the corner, but did the ball drift forward en route?
