IRELAND V ENGLAND: in boxing terms you might say that these two just plain don’t like each other*. These two nations have been at one another’s throats since before they even knew what countries were.

This Sunday, all that pent-up historical aggression will be unleashed through the medium of a potential title-decider in the Six Nations. Healy v Cole, O’Connell v Kruis, Vunipola v Murphy, Ford v Sexton…. well, you get the idea. Sunday’s 23 v 23 royal rumble will also decide who gets the bragging rights in the following long-running cross-channel disputes.
