Six Nations: When and where to watch Ireland vs England | Time, TV, tickets and team news

Ireland head to Twickenham this weekend under pressure after a mixed start to their Six Nations campaign, with Andy Farrell's side sitting fifth in the table following one win and one defeat from their opening two games.

A narrow 20-13 win over Italy last time out steadied the ship after Ireland's heavy defeat to France in round one, but Saturday's clash with England presents a major test of where this team really stands heading into the business end of the Championship.

England, meanwhile, are just one place above Ireland in the table after splitting their opening two fixtures, and Steve Borthwick's side will be determined to make Twickenham count against an Irish team they have pushed close in recent years.

Here's what you need to know:

Where can I watch the match?

The game will be shown live on RTÉ 2, with coverage beginning ahead of kick-off. It will also be available to stream on the RTÉ Player.

Are tickets still available?

As is usually the case for Six Nations fixtures at Twickenham, tickets for Ireland's trip to London are effectively sold out, with Irish supporters expected to make up a sizeable portion of the crowd.

What are the odds?

Bookmakers are struggling to split the sides ahead of Saturday's clash, with both teams priced closely for the win and very little between them heading into kick-off.

With Ireland having won five of the last six meetings between the sides, but England enjoying home advantage at Twickenham, this one is being billed as one of the tightest games of the weekend.

How are Ireland placed in the table?

Ireland come into the weekend fifth in the Six Nations standings after two rounds, having beaten Italy but suffered a heavy loss to France in their opener.

With France already pulling clear at the top of the table, Ireland know that another defeat would leave them playing catch-up in the race for the title and place real pressure on the remainder of their campaign.

What's the team news?

Jack Crowley has been named at fly-half for Saturday's clash, with Sam Prendergast dropping out of the matchday squad following his struggles in last weekend's win over Italy.

Crowley impressed off the bench against the Azzurri and now gets the nod to start in a big away test at Twickenham, with Jamison Gibson-Park recalled at scrum-half.

There are also changes in the pack, with Tadhg Furlong returning at tighthead prop, while Tadhg Beirne and Josh van der Flier come into the back row alongside captain Caelan Doris.

Farrell said this week: "Games between the two sides have been nip and tuck over recent times and there's great familiarity and respect across both camps. We know their strengths and our aim is to deliver the best version of ourselves to put us in a position to get the performance that we want."
