A BUMPER CROWD of 10,000 attended England’s open training at Twickenham as preparations for the round three Guinness Six Nations clash with Ireland began in earnest.
Eddie Jones oversaw the session featuring his Championship title hopefuls and members of England’s unbeaten Under-20 team, who are chasing the Grand Slam.
Jones is hopeful that Manu Tuilagi will return from a groin strain in time for Ireland’s visit to Twickenham on Sunday week, but Henry Slade appears less likely to take part as he recovers from an ankle injury.
