The first points on the board go to the visitors. This is exactly how they would have planned for the start of the game.

That could be the best start to a game by England in this tournament.

They turn over the ball and then roll through the phases. Dummy lines testing the Irish defence from all angles.

They have the penalty and Owen Farrell points to the posts.

England have been speaking about the hurt of that heavy defeat by France all week, and they are looking to make amends in Ireland.

The line speed in defence is good and they are getting to the breakdown quickly.

White shirts seemingly everywhere.

A blistering start to the game, England are firing and there are some swinging arms but they have got to be careful.

Owen Farrell is penalised for an early hit on Jamison Gibson-Park.

Some early game nerves to flush out of the system for the England skipper.

Owen Farrell hoists the ball into the clear Dublin sky and we are up and running.

It's a long time since I've felt butterflies in my stomach but that's what I felt when the players came out. It's absolutely electric.

The anthems have been proudly sung and the tracksuits are stripped off.

We're all set for the final game of the 2023 Six Nations...

Brian O'Driscoll speaking to ITV Sport: "It is huge that your home crowd can get to see it, there has been so much hype and expectation in the last six weeks. To get Jonny Sexton to sign off here after the career he has had would be spectacular."

If you're going to play Arundell you've got to give him the ball. It shows intent to keep the ball in play.

If England win quick ball then all of a sudden Tuilagi makes sense and Arundell makes sense.

If they are not winning the breakdown, it does not count for anything.

Wing Henry Arundell is one to watch this evening as he makes his first England start.

Steve Borthwick says the 20-year-old has an "incredible future".

"I want to see him on the field from the start," Borthwick told BBC Sport.

"I think there will be opportunities for him and we need to make sure we give him the ball in space."

Ireland's leader off the field is the father of England's on it.

Andy Farrell and Owen Farrell will face each other again today, but will there be split loyalties on the sidelines?

England's trip to Ireland has the potential to be record-breaking for all the wrong reasons.

After last weekend's 53-10 pummelling by France, former England captain Matt Dawson says staying in the game for an hour as Ireland seek a Grand Slam in Dublin would be "really good progress".

Ireland's biggest win against England is a 43-13 victory in the 2007 Six Nations. The defeat by France was England's heaviest ever loss in the tournament.

That was against the side ranked second in the world at home. Now, they are going away to face the world number ones.

England head coach Steve Borthwick needs his players to rally and avoid further negative marks in the history books.

How about this for a show of support?

Gavin Wallace created this brilliant piece of sand art ahead of today's match.

It's approximately 15mx15m and took around two hours to create at Doe Castle in County Donegal.

Looks like a stunning spot, too.

I have loved watching Johnny Sexton recently. It's clear he has been enjoying every minute of his last Six Nations.

He's been smiling in interviews, fighting back the tears during anthems and, of course, giving his absolute maximum on the pitch.

And it's all come down to this. On Saturday, Ireland have the chance to win their fourth Grand Slam - but first in Dublin - and it seems fitting that Sexton, a man who has done so much for Irish rugby, will lead the team on what could be a historic occasion.

France beat Wales 41-28 earlier on Saturday to claim top spot in the table. Les Bleus have 20 points and Ireland have 19 before kick-off in Dublin.

Should the hosts beat England, they will win a first Grand Slam since 2018.

After France's win in Paris, a draw or a loss with two bonus points - losing by seven points or fewer and scoring at least four tries - would also be enough.

If Ireland earn one bonus point in defeat against England, the title will be decided on points difference. Andy Farrell's side go into their final Test with a seven-point advantage over France in that area.

If the sides end up on the same number of match points with the same points difference, the title is decided by number of tries scored. France scored 21 in the tournament and Ireland have 16 so far.

Scotland have ended their campaign with victory over Italy.

Blair Kinghorn scored an impressive hat-trick, which included the finishing touch from a coast to coast team move in the final minute.

Let me take you back six years when the situation before Ireland v England was very different.

Eddie Jones' side were looking to defend their Grand Slam and set a new world record with 19 consecutive Test wins.

Ireland spoiled the party with a 13-9 victory to end England's winning run.

Jones' side still won the title but their run of 18 wins equalled New Zealand's record.

Will England enact revenge for that defeat today..?
