Twickenham will expect Steve Borthwick's men to compete at the very least, but how do they beat a side that has won a record-equalling 11 Six Nations games in a row? "I said 'find the ball and get it in your hands'. There are some nuances, but the message was 'I want you to get the ball in your hands as many times as possible'."Feyi-Waboso is one of three changes to the side, with Alex Mitchell returning from injury to reclaim the number nine jersey and George Martin's selection in the second row a nod to the physicality England will need.
"Let's be clear on Ireland - right now we can all agree they are the best team in the world," said Borthwick.Borthwick said the performance against Scotland was the first time since he took charge of England that he had seen "the shirt weigh heavy" on his players.It is rare for England to play at home without being favourites.
"We have respect for them. I can't emphasise enough how much respect we have for Andy Farrell and Peter O'Mahony's team. They've got brilliant players across the board.
