In pics: Ireland and England squads go through paces ahead of pivotal Six Nations clash

Here’s how the Championship’s remaining unbeaten sides are shaping up for the big one on Sunday.

THE TEAMS HAVE been named, the boarding cards have been printed and the pitch on Lansdowne Road will soon be marked.

After almost two solid weeks of build-up, we’re less than 48 hours away from Ireland v England. Both Joe Schmidt’s and Stuart Lancaster’s men have recorded two wins from their opening two fixtures, but on Sunday something has to give.

Here’s how the squads shaped up in today’s training session, the last proper hit-out before Sunday.

There’s Johnny Sexton, ready for his third game in as many weeks after three months out
