England vs Ireland Prediction & Betting Tips - Six Nations

England's first two games under new Australian coach Eddie Jones have seen two good wins away at Scotland and Italy. That puts them top of the table ahead of France on points difference as the only two nations to have won both their opening fixtures. Finally, England get to play a home game under their new coach and know a win against defending champions Ireland will really strengthen their chances of winning the title and banishing the nightmares of their appalling World Cup campaign last year. They take on an Ireland side who are seeing their grip on their title slowly slip away. Any hopes of a hat-trick of wins will die if they lose this match. It's been a frustrating Six Nations so far for Ireland. They had good leads over both Wales and France but have just one point to show from their opening two games, five behind England. I think the English side will be really up for their first game at Twickenham under Jones and can get a win here and cover the -4.5 handicap.
