What time and TV channel is Ireland v England on today in the Six Nations?

Ireland will look to finish this year's Six Nations on a high note this evening as they host England.

In what's been a somewhat disappointing campaign, Ireland have lost to both Wales and France but bounced back against Italy and Scotland.

But as Eddie Jones' side travel to Dublin fresh after ending France's Grand Slam hopes, Ireland know a result will extend a barren run against their rivals.

Ireland haven't tasted victory over England since their St Patrick's Day triumph in Twickenham that secured the Grand Slam in 2018.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of the big game:

Andy Farrell: "The mental state of the squad is very strong. They’re very buoyant this week, in a determined mood.

"They know that this is the last game of the competition, where we get a chance to put our best performance out there for 80 minutes, which is something that we haven’t quite achieved yet.

"But we’ll need to do that to win and they’re in a determined mood to make that happen.

“We’ve got to have courage to go out there and win the game and the statement that we want to make, to ourselves first and foremost.

"As far as we’re concerned, obviously there’s a couple of defeats that got away from us in the end but we’re in a determined mood to finish off this campaign well.”
