'No passengers': Doris eager for Ireland to apply Paris lessons against England

Caelan Doris said his Ireland side will be looking to hunt England down at Twickenham on Saturday but the captain stressed their Guinness Six Nations fortunes this weekend were reliant on getting off to a fast start.

Both teams go into this round three showdown with a win apiece from the first two rounds of the 2026 championship, with Ireland beaten heavily, 36-14, in France on the opening night before rebounding with a 20-13 win at home to Italy. England began their campaign with a 48-7 hammering of Wales on home soil before a Calcutta Cup loss to Scotland in Edinburgh which ended a 12-Test winning run.
